The Cameroon Medical Women Association (CMWA/ACAFEM), under the leadership of its President, Prof Agnes Esiene trained medical personnel of the Biyem Assi District Hospital on #KangarouMotherCare (KMC). This intervention will go a long way to help reduce the death rate of premature babies, with low birth weight, owing to the fact that we have very limited number of incubators in our milieu. It also falls in line with the vision of CMWA/ACAFEM - TREATING WITH A MOTHER'S HEART.

Special thanks to all the female medical doctors that sacrificed their time to positively impact the lives of premature babies, via training other medical personnel.
