Quality improvement initiative to improve the duration of kangaroo mother care for twin preterm neonates born at a tertiary care hospital in resource-limited settings.

Aim: Kangaroo mother care (KMC) can be challenging in multiple births and more so in resource-limited settings. This study aims at increasing the mean duration of KMC with early initiation in twin preterm neonates born at a tertiary care hospital using a quality improvement (QI) initiative.

Methods: Barriers for poor KMC practice in twin preterm neonates born at the tertiary care hospital were analysed and baseline data were collected over a period of 4 months using a predesigned proforma.
