There are, however, some interventions that would be easier to scale up in some countries and regions than others - for example, kangaroo mother care, which involves the baby being placed in skin contact with the mother’s bare chest and exclusive breastfeeding being supported, is generally seen as more possible in African than in Asian countries. These include addressing health workforce shortages, removing financial barriers, and improving access to care through innovative delivery strategies such as task shifting (delegating tasks to less specialized health workers).
