The Ministry of Health’s Food Policy Division, in partnership with the Pan American Health Organisation/World Health Organisation (PAHO/WHO) has inaugurated the second phase of a five-day Focal Point Training programme for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI).
A Ministry of Health press release said that the second phase was building from last year’s collaboration. This initiative aims to recertify previously certified hospitals as baby-friendly and accredit other maternity and newborn services providers. The overarching goal of the BFHI project, the release said, is to enhance infant health outcomes and save lives by championing breastfeeding promotion, protection, and support.
