Article Synopsis
- Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is an affordable, effective practice for newborns, yet its implementation in Vietnam is inconsistent across healthcare facilities.
- A survey of 187 hospitals showed that only 49% routinely practiced KMC, with significant gaps in protocols, dedicated spaces, and follow-up care.
- Key barriers include lack of follow-up after discharge, while potential facilitators are focused on boosting education for parents and healthcare workers, and improving physical environments for KMC.
