The Egyptian Version of the World Breastfeeding Week: Closing Ceremony
The first week of August marks the annual celebration of the World Breastfeeding Week (WBW).
As of our annual tradition for the sixth consecutive year, ELCA celebrated the event with all of the Lactation consultants in Egypt and collaborated with all various organizations and institutions to support, sponsor and actively participate in the events. The initiative, launched under the leadership of Dr. Gihan Fouad, Former Dean of the National Nutrition Institute and ELCA Board member, covered various provinces and hospitals allover Egypt.
“I am incredibly proud of the remarkable impact of our World Breastfeeding Week celebrations this year. The dedication and hard work of our Egyptian IBCLCs have truly made a difference in raising awareness and improving breastfeeding practices across the nation.”
Prof. Gihan Fouad
Head of the Initiative
Former Dean of National Nutrition Institute
