The importance and structure of community perinatal services is explained and the simple yet highly effective practice of kangaroo care for premature babies is described. This edition pays particular attention to the problem of birth asphyxia and subsequent hypoxic brain damage, as they remain the major causes of death and severe handicapping in full-term infants on the African continent.
