School of Public Health – Supporting World Breastfeeding Week 2026
The School of Public Health, Dow University of Health Sciences proudly supports World Breastfeeding Week, standing alongside global efforts to promote maternal and child health. Breastfeeding remains one of the most effective ways to ensure optimal nutrition, immunity, and emotional bonding for infants, while also contributing to healthier communities.
As part of our commitment, under the ENRICH Project, breastfeeding awareness was integrated into the nutrition sessions conducted during training for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). This initiative reflects our dedication to empowering grassroots health workers with practical knowledge that directly benefits mothers and families in their communities.
By endorsing breastfeeding education and advocacy, we reaffirm our mission to advance public health through evidence-based practices, capacity building, and preventive health strategies. Supporting mothers in their breastfeeding journey is not only a personal health choice but a public health priority with long-term impact.
Together, we celebrate the role of breastfeeding in nurturing healthier generations and continue to strengthen our institutional vision of promoting wellness, education, and community empowerment.
