On #WPD23, we highlight the significance of immediate #KangarooMotherCare (iKMC) for #preterm and low birth weight infants. According to recent WHO findings, iKMC prevents hypothermia and sepsis and saves lives. Let's make iKMC part of the routine for every baby everywhere!

We would like to thank all the GAPPS Moms that donated samples throughout their pregnancy. It is because of you that this groundbreaking research is possible.
Using blood samples collected by the GAPPS Biorepository, scientists identified 18 genes that can form the basis of a "test that would identify mothers at risk of preeclampsia long before clinical symptoms manifest themselves."
Check it out! A collaboration of leading #researchers from 11 institutions around the world, including #GAPPS showed that #RNA signatures from a single blood draw can track #pregnancy progression and predict pregnancy complications months before they happen.
#Landmark @Nature research proves the @MirvieDX #RNA platform is 1st to predict unexpected complications by revealing the underlying biology of each pregnancy. A #PregnancyHealth breakthrough for complications that affect 1 in 5 pregnancies. Learn more: mirvie.com/press-release-jan…
