Zusammenfassung:Aim To develop a locally tested and optimised Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) scale‐up model to achieve high population‐based effective coverage of KMC in Oromia region. Method We conducted an implementation research study to design and test KMC scale‐up models from March 2017 to March 2019 in five hospitals and 39 health centres covering a population of 1.1 million in Oromia region, Ethiopia. We evaluated the models by measuring effective KMC coverage (at least 8 hours of skin‐to‐skin care plus exclusive breastfeeding) for newborns weighing
