In Hungary, approximately 8,000 infants were delivered prematurely or with a birth weight below average annually over the past decade. Premature babies are exposed to many dangers and health risks, but with the help of Kangaroo care which relies on skin-to-skin contact, more and more can be done to ensure their healthy development. To raise awareness of the significance of this method, on the 2023 International Kangaroo Care Awareness Day the Melletted a helyem Association has initiated its eighth Kangaroo Competition between Perinatal Intensive Care Centres in the country. The grand prize of the competition was a special device from GE HealthCare, which can be used during kangarooing and was awarded by the organizers to the institution that used the method most actively.
