The closing of World Breastfeeding Week was held in the auditorium of the Delicia Concepción Masvernat hospital. It hosted various activities related to maternity, the bond between the pregnant person and their baby, among other events in which Health areas of the Municipality and the regional hospital participated.
The theme for this year's activities was focused on supporting breastfeeding for all. The campaign, at a global level, honored breastfeeding mothers in all their diversity and throughout their breastfeeding journey.
In this regard, the Director of Primary Care of the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Concordia, Dr. Karina Greco, highlighted the carrying out of different activities, “some in conjunction with the Province. We, from the municipality, support every activity that arises from the province and, of course, this one that was carried out at the Masvernat hospital,” she indicated.
Likewise, the municipal official commented that during the week, in the Primary Care Centers, breastfeeding sessions were held with classes, video screenings, among other proposals. She also stressed that “this year's motto is closing gaps, teaching moms not only the positions on how to breastfeed, but also all the benefits it offers. The bond between the mother and her child is important,” she highlighted.
On the other hand, the head of the Breastfeeding Center and coordinator of the Breastfeeding Conference, María Luisa Ocampo, stressed that “the objective is to deepen and work to eliminate the barriers that many mothers still face on their path to successful breastfeeding. We thank all our expert speakers and participants for their dedication and enthusiasm.”
