Knitted Goods
Many thanks to the knitters and sewers of Whitchurch, Hampshire and Kidderminster, Birmingham who provide us with thousands of homemade hats, vests, blankets and swaddling sheets each year.
Neonatal care and admissions
Infection, breathing difficulty or prematurity are just some of the reasons why a baby may need to be transferred to the paediatric ward after birth. MAMA also supports the neonatal services at our partner hospital, Azur Health Centre IV in Hoima town.
Kangaroo care
Simple skin-to-skin ‘kangaroo’ care has been proven to improve the outcomes of neonates, especially those born too early, of low birth weight or who are sick.
