In India one third of all newborn infants are preterm and low birth weights (LBW). Most of the newborn deaths are due to hypothermia and about 42 percent, 3.6 million develop moderate to severe hypothermia. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is a special way of caring of new born infants to foster their health and well being by promoting effective thermal control, breastfeeding, infection prevention and bonding. Multipurpose health workers (MPHWs) have a significant role in care of mother and child during prenatal, perinatal and postnatal period. Therefore, they need to have a vast knowledge and good attitude to deliver care to them.
