The Mother-Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (MBFHI) Committee of SIMC successfully conducted Lactation Management Training from September 9 to 11, 2025, for SIMC staff and healthcare professionals from Gattaran Emergency Hospital.

The training featured interactive online lectures on September 9 and 10, followed by hands-on return demonstrations on September 11 across key clinical areas—Outpatient Department (OPD), Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and the OB Ward. These sessions were carefully designed to strengthen both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in breastfeeding support.

Breastfeeding is not merely a feeding choice—it is a vital foundation of infant and maternal health, providing optimal nutrition, boosting immunity, and reinforcing the emotional bond between mother and child. Through this initiative, SIMC reaffirms its commitment to fostering a breastfeeding-friendly culture across all levels of care, aligned with national and global health standards.
