iKMC Film 2 - History of separation and KMC

Since the 1940s and 1950s, Neonatal Intensive Care Units have used incubators to keep babies warm. This film looks at the introduction of incubators and how it led to parents and babies being separated. It traces how the adoption of Kangaroo Care in Colombia in the 1970s and 1980s has spread since, as the weight of evidence demonstrating the benefits of KMC has grown.
