Hug therapy: volunteers stimulate the development of premature babies in Argentina. The initiative of a public maternity hospital in Córdoba seeks to reduce the stress of living in an incubator for newborns. There are 50 volunteers – 49 women and one man – who donate their time to accompany the newborns and there are more than 200 applicants on the waiting list. “We don't lend people to hug.
