Why do a kangaroo-a-thon?

• A kangaroo-a-thon is a way to take a snapshot of your kangaroo care program.
• Know how many hours babies are held in kangaroo care in your unit, the average duration of the sessions, what percentage of babies are held, etc. 
• Receive the results and compare your team with other NICUs.
• We invite you to register and receive everything you need to run an easy and successful project and be counted. 

Whether you are hosting your own kangaroo-a-thon or want to participate in our 24-hour global kangaroo-a-thon (or both), we invite your team to register!

Register your team by adding this "product" to your cart and checkout (free). You will receive a detailed project plan, calendars, invitations, tracking cards for parents to fill in manually, an Excel file to tally all the results, and an easy way to submit your results (only numbers) and evaluation.

Over 82,000 minutes of kangaroo care were tracked by 40+ teams during the Kangaroo-a-thon on World Prematurity Day on November 17, 2022, and it was very short notice. Let us count your team's duration this time! Not sure if you have time or resources to make it work? Register, look at the plan and resources, and then decide if your team participates and submit your results to be counted.  

Let's do this together!
