This World Breastfeeding Week, the FIGO Committee on Breast Health reaffirms the global call: Prioritise Breastfeeding – Create Sustainable Support Systems. Breastfeeding is a fundamental right and a vital investment in lifelong health. FIGO advocates for strengthened training in breastfeeding counselling, respectful maternity care and empowering mothers during the antenatal period. Building sustainable support systems in healthcare is essential to ensure every mother receives the skilled care needed to initiate and sustain breastfeeding on their terms."
– Charulata Bapaye, member of the FIGO Committee on Breast Health
