Kangaroo Method Keeps Newborns Alive in Senegal

.....The Kangaroo Method was created in 1978 in Colombia.

Ousmane Ndiaye is a neo-natologist who recently introduced the method to Senegal as part of a program funded by UNICEF and Senegal's Ministry of Health.

Ndiaye says the objective of the kangaroo method, also called the skin-on-skin method, is to keep the newborn warm. The method was inspired by the kangaroo, an animal that gives birth to a very small baby after 30 days of pregnancy. In fact, he says, kangaroos were specially designed to give birth to premature offspring.......

....Koumba Gueye's third child was born a month and half early. She found the method strange at first. But now a month later, she says it saved her son's life.....
