Delta State Reproductive Health Program

The Reproductive Health Unit , wishes every mother, family, and health worker a joyful World Breastfeeding Week 2026.

This year’s theme, “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works,” speaks to something we witness every day across Delta State ,the quiet strength of a mother nursing her child, often with little fanfare, yet building the foundation of a healthier generation.

To every nursing mother in our 25 Local Government Areas: we see you, we honour you, and we remain committed to standing beside you at home, at work, and in our health facilities.
Happy World Breastfeeding Week.

Safe Motherhood Day 2026 🤍

Every mother deserves more than access — she deserves quality care that saves lives.

This year, we focus on closing the gap between coverage and quality by strengthening our health systems, improving service delivery, and ensuring no woman is left behind.

Because it’s not just about reaching care… it’s about receiving the right care at the right time.

Care That Saves. Systems That Deliver.
