Please join us for a timely discussion about Nurturescience: New Essentials For Perinatal Care a live webinar with Dr. Nils Bergman on October 19, 2020 from 8 AM to 3 PM.
Dr. Nils Bergman graduated at the University of Cape Town, and has worked in South Africa, Ciskei and, Sweden, before working seven years as Medical Superintendent and District Medical Officer at Manama Mission, Zimbabwe. Here he, together with Midwife Agneta Jurisoo, developed and implemented Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) for premature infants right from birth. This resulted in a five-fold improvement in survival of Very Low Birth Weight babies. He introduced KMC to South Africa in 1995, and after 5 years, KMC became official policy for care of prematures in the hospitals of the Western Cape province. He has given keynote addresses on KMC at International Conferences in six continents, and published articles on a variety of subjects in medical journals. He now researches and promotes KMC fulltime. He was for 6 years Senior Medical Superintendent of the Mowbray Maternity Hospital (7000 deliveries per year) and five Midwife Obstetric Units (11000 deliveries per year). Since 2005, Dr. Bergman has been promoting KMC globally, as a Consulting Public Health Physician. He currently lives in Uppsala, Sweden, where he is also a Research Associate at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. Apart from his original degree, he holds a Diploma in Child Health, a Masters degree in Public Health, and a Doctoral degree in Clinical Pharmacology, on the effects of scorpion stings. He is married to Jill, and father to Rebecka, Simon and Emma.
