Kangubator - A System for Transport of Critical Neonates with KMC

60% of 9 mil Indian low-weight babies are born at hospitals with limited or no specialized neonatal care; this makes transport to higher centers necessary for these neonates. With a lack of reliable transport options parents are often forced to use unorganized systems like motorbikes without any transport stabilization. Evidence suggests that mortality in transported newborns is much higher than inborn babies due to transport-induced hypothermia, hypoglycemia, hypoxia, and apnea. [1, 2, 3, 4].
