5:27Now PlayingWorld Breastfeeding Week is celebrated annually from the 1st to the 7th of August, highlighting the importance of breastfeeding for both mothers and their babies. In 2024, the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs is extending the celebration throughout the entire month of August, under the theme “Closing the Gap: Breastfeeding Support for All.” Breastfeeding support can manifest in many ways, including from local communities, healthcare professionals, employers, healthcare institutions, families, and society at large.
At the national level, government support plays a crucial role in providing maternity protection to safeguard the health and rights of women and their babies. This comprehensive support network is essential in ensuring that breastfeeding mothers receive the encouragement and assistance they need to successfully breastfeed. This month-long initiative is a celebration of breastfeeding mothers and their unique journeys. It also serves as a platform to highlight and promote various ways to support breastfeeding, emphasizing that everyone can play a part in this vital aspect of public health.
