DO YOU KNOW BREASTFEEDING DOESN’T just protect the baby but the mother too?

This , let’s celebrate the powerful benefits of breastfeeding—for both baby and mother.

👶🏻 Breast milk is all a baby needs for the first 6 months of life, it:

✔ Reduces newborn mortality

✔ Provides the perfect balance of nutrients

✔ Strengthens immunity against illnesses

✔ Reduces risk of obesity

🤱🏻 Breastfeeding doesn’t just benefit the
baby - it protects the mother too, lowering the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

🙌 Let’s raise awareness so more babies get a healthy start they deserve.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial agents. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.

The World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of AMR and promote best practices.
