Join WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and partners on Wednesday 23 February for the launch of a new WHO-UNICEF report: How the marketing of formula milk influences our decisions on infant feeding.
Two events are planned to accommodate different time zones:
- Event 1: 10h00-11h30 CET (Geneva) – register here (interpretation in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish)
- Event 2: 11h00-12h30 EST (New York) – register here (interpretation in Portuguese and Spanish)
The report – the largest of its kind to date – draws on the experiences of over 8,500 women and 300 health professionals across eight countries. It exposes the aggressive marketing practices used by the formula milk industry, and highlights impacts on families’ decisions about how to feed their infants and young children. The report calls for a whole-of-society response and outlines opportunities for action.
