Embryo Breakthrough
Helping premature babies with 'kangaroo care'
To solve the problem of incubator shortages for premature babies, doctors in Bogota came up with an innovative solution that has been so successful, the developed world has had to sit up and take note.
The mother carries the baby against her body at every moment, acting as a human incubator - akin to finishing the pregnancy outside the body, like marsupials do. It reduces rate of infection in the hospital, of abandonment, and helps cement the mother-baby bond.
