Pathways from policy to implementation for kangaroo mother care. Countries have followed different pathways in introducing and expanding implementation of KMC services. Based on a review of the processes in a small number of countries in Latin America, South Asia and Africa that now have KMC services in more than half of facilities that conduct births and adapting from previous work, we have identified three entry points: champion(s), a project-based approach, and a health system-designed programme [26,30]. KMC: kangaroo mother care. LAC: Latin American and Caribbean.
