Hoping to establish Level 2 nurseries with KMC care in all 5 sub metro hospitals that will reduce the number of sick newborns in NICU at KATH by 50% Midwives in Kumasi has been trained and mothers are being educated on KMC for Low birth weight babies KATH is a teaching hospital that provides tertiary care The only neonatal facility in Kumasi (capital of Ghana) Had occupancy of over 200% (overly crowded) 24 hour in- patient service

4 77 cots, 4 functioning incubators, 2 overhead radiant heaters, 10 phototherapy units and 20 oxygen delivery outlets o With over ¾ babies sharing one radiant heater or incubator Not only trained KMC, but also the prevention of HIV/AIDs SGH is a district hospital and provide secondary care Continuous KMC is practiced at SGH as there is enough space for rooming in Neonatal care ward has 13 beds, and the KMC ward has 4 beds Mother- baby unit runs 24 hour service and is staffed by pediatrician and seven nurses Continue practicing KMC at home and bring their babies weekly follow up care till they attain a weigh of 3000g Emergency preparedness is low due to the poor transportation, lack of communication, lack of skills and poor staff Discharge and follow- up o Before discharging, KMC infants should gain weight but most hospital discharged the LBW infants within 72 hrs. Also, mother did not stay in hospital for long. o Also, 23 out of 38 hospitals stated that infants born there did not return for review or did not show up at the follow- up arrangements. Only 14 of the 23 hospitals have follow- up records or visits. o Home visits are not permit due to the cultural practices of restrictions on when and who is allowed to see the infants Result o 26/38 hospitals demonstrated sufficient progress with KMC implementation (total of 38 hospitals were visited, 33 district hospitals, 4 regional hospitals and one teaching hospital) o 66% of hospitals used a special record In Ghana, very few mothers knew about KMC at the beginning, they started to know after the nurse explained it to them. There are also some women who are not comfortable handling their young infants, and they would declined to practice KMC. But for those who practice KMC are willing to recommend it other mothers. Due to custom and belief, KMC are rarely practice outside. But, mothers were becoming more comfortable with practicing KMC outside their homes. In Ghana, the usual practice of carrying newborns for mothers is to wrap them against their back and not towards their chest.
