Description
This constituency, with support from NCD Alliance, welcomes the report by the Director-General on progress on the implementation plan on maternal, infant and young child nutrition.
We call on Member States to:
• Protect and promote breastfeeding as a powerful and cost-effective double-duty policy action to save lives and boost health of infants and mothers
• Put children’s and mothers’ health ahead of commercial interests by protecting policy development
• Adopt and enforce legal measures to strengthen implementation and monitoring of the Code and strategies to tackle digital marketing
