The widespread use of ‘kangaroo care’ is yet to be realized despite strong evidence to suggest that this method of preterm care is safe, effective and affordable.

We conclude that, in this hospital, caregivers preferred kangaroo care to conventional methods. Communities' awareness of this method of care and its advantages must be improved.
