Dear friends,
This is to endorse the views expressed by Prof Joseph Ana and to add that the Opinion builders, including Academia and leading researchers from prestigious Universities must play a significant role in influencing Policy and implementation of Public Health Laws in every country by working with the respective Health ministry .
Advocacy for breastfeeding as a child right in the framework of UNCRC can be an approach to fight the Corporate Food industry giants in all countries that are signatories to the UNCRC.
Thanks and regards,
Sunanda
