Jyamima Nyirahabimana recently gave birth to twins. Both babies were born premature, but Jyamima is not worried. She is being taught “Kangaroo Mother Care”, which promotes growth and regulates body temperature through skin-to-skin contact between her and the babies.

Rwanda’s successes in improving quality of care for maternal, newborn and child health are essential to help reduce maternal and newborn mortality and stillbirths. These include:

HIGH Horizons, a project that studies the effects of extreme heat on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) is looking for examples of public health education messages used to raise awareness among pregnant and postpartum women, parents, families, and health workers about the risks of extreme heat exposure for MNCH.
The Midwifery Accelerator: Expanding Quality Care for Women and Newborns is a call to invest in midwifery care to save and transform the lives of women and their newborns around the world.
