Impact of ANCH's Kangaroo Care Programs

ANCH, a charity incubated by charity entrepreneurship, has been successfully implementing kangaroo care programs in government hospitals in India, saving an estimated four lives per month per facility and 98 lives per year. By replicating their programs in additional hospitals, ANCH aims to double their impact by the end of the year. Neonatal conditions, a leading cause of death globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries, are addressed through evidence-based interventions like kangaroo care, which has been proven effective in reducing mortality rates among low birth weight newborns.

Executive Summary

Ansh, a 1-year-old Charity Entrepreneurship incubated charity, has been delivering an evidence-based, scientifically proven intervention called Kangaroo Care to low birth weight and premature babies in 2 government hospitals in India since January 2024.
