This method is much more important than the other methods, whether intensive care or costly

Infant care in a way kangaroos reduce infant mortality rate

Where this British study indicated that mothers carrying their young children through skin contact of the skin in a way that defines the auspices of "Kangaroo" can reduce a large percentage of global mortality and disability caused by premature birth.

She explained Professor Joy color from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine that "kangaroo care method", the most important of intensive and costly care.

And it generates about 15 million children a year in the 37th week of pregnancy or earlier and these account for about 10 percent of the global burden of disease, where the die including a million children.

Among those who survive, they suffer less than three percent of moderate or severe disabilities, while 4.4 percent suffer from mild disabilities.

She added that the color "concept has been followed is that you need intensive care for children who are born too early."

She explained, "but 85 percent of children who are born early, born before Muadhm six weeks or less, and those in need of assistance in nutrition with temperature control, and they are more prone to infection. Prior to week 32 of the pregnancy not be their lungs incomplete, and in need of help breathing. "

She continued, "If there are no such breathing problems, the (way) kangaroo care (skin contact of the skin) is actually better because it helps lactation and reduce the infection."

In a speech ahead of the World Day of premature births Friday, Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, who oversees the strategy, "every woman and every child," which calls for better health care for women and children, said that "three-quarters of a million children who die each year from complications associated with premature birth can be life-saving interventions are effective in terms of cost, even without the need for intensive care facilities. "

Pregnancy risks

Studies show, scheduled to deploy during the next two days in the "Pediatric Research" journal, that young children males represent probably 14 percent of premature birth, and male children who are born early are more likely to die or disability than females.

Common disabilities include learning disorders and cerebral palsy.

She explained that the color of "a partial explanation for the increase in premature births among males is that women who become pregnant suffer most likely a male of placenta problems and pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure, all of the symptoms associated with premature birth."

"The increasing likelihood of male children infection, jaundice, birth complications and birth defects."

She continued, "each of two children born to the same degree of premature birth, a male child to be exposed to higher risk of death and disability compared to a female."

The agency "Even in the womb, the females grow faster than males, which provides an advantage, because the lungs and other members are in key growth stages."
