Mbotama espoir 

‘Even in a warm climate, babies can die of cold at birth.’ This reality is at the heart of the public health campaign launched this September in Kinshasa (DRC) by Dr Otis Olela, a paediatrician specialising in neonatology at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), in collaboration with hospitals, gynaecological centres and university clinics in Kinshasa. His project, piloted between Switzerland and the DRC, aims to prevent neonatal morbidity and mortality linked to hypothermia. This is achieved through two complementary approaches: on the one hand, raising awareness among the general population through artistic projects to get the message across (a music video and a comic strip), and on the other hand, training healthcare professionals.
