In addition to direct patient care, the initiative builds institutional capacity across local hospitals to implement and sustain the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), a global standard focused on optimal infant nutrition and post-natal support.
Organisers extended their appreciation to the expert facilitators whose clinical guidance and dedicated time were instrumental in the programme’s success.
