Supporting mothers, protecting breastfeeding, and giving every child the best start. 🌸
MHTC was pleased to attend the National World Breastfeeding Week 2026 celebration at Prince Court Medical Centre, officiated by YB Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, Minister of Health Malaysia.
The celebration was organised with the involvement of the National Lactation Centre, IHH Healthcare Malaysia and Prince Court Medical Centre, bringing together public and private healthcare stakeholders around a shared commitment to supporting breastfeeding.
This year’s theme, “Asas Kehidupan Lestari: Perkukuhkan Amalan Yang Berkesan” (Sustainable Foundations: Strengthening Effective Practices), highlights the importance of creating supportive environments that enable mothers to continue breastfeeding, wherever they choose to give birth.
The celebration also marked the launch of the new Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) logo and recognised 23 private hospitals for their efforts in supporting breastfeeding practices, including Malaysia Healthcare member hospitals.
Congratulations to our member hospitals:
