Description

This session redefines skin-to-skin contact not as an optional "extra," but as a fundamental clinical intervention.

Join skin-to-skin activist and inventor, Dr. Yamille Jackson, and neonatologist Dr. Alice Obuobi as they discuss the science behind this human connection.

Key Highlights:

• The Science of Connection: How scent and touch regulate $CO_2$, thermal synchronization, and oxytocin to create a neonatal "safety net."

• The Zaky Evolution: Ergonomic innovation born from Dr. Jackson's personal journey as a NICU mother.

• Equity in Care: Strategies to bridge socioeconomic and cultural gaps, ensuring Kangaroo Care for every family.
