Bringing babies closer to their mothers
Lalitha belongs to a village named
Linganahalli, 15 km (approx. 10 miles) away
from this hospital. She and her husband
travelled to the hospital via auto rickshaw, and
the doctors performed an emergency C-section
immediately on her arrival.

Having spent much more than expected on
this procedure, the couple did not have enough
money to keep their low birth weight baby in an
incubator for the required duration. However,
the more affordable charges (less than half) of
the Embrace warmer allowed them to keep
their baby safe and warm until he achieved
thermal stability.
This young mother, Shilpa, was rushed to the
hospital for delivery while some members of
the Embrace team were there to speak with
the doctors. She gave birth to a little baby girl
weighing about 2 kg (4.5 pounds).

The nurses at this hospital always keep the
Embrace warmer on stand by, for just such a
situation. They bundled up the little girl in the
device and handed her over to Shilpa. It is
cases such as these that prompted Dr.
Praveen to tell us how the Embrace warmer
was helping them bring mothers closer to their
babies.
This nursing home has few amenities. The
hospital has a labor room and a small NICU;
we personally saw three babies placed in one
radiant warmer because of a lack of sufficient
equipment.

When we installed the Embrace infant warmer,
there were twins in the radiant warmer that had
been isolated from their mother for 20 days.
The moment we placed one of the babies in
the Embrace warmer and handed her over to
her mother, her eyes filled with tears. She
asked, “Do you have one more for my other
baby?”
