The Department of Health Center for Health Development CALABARZON, through its Nutrition and Breastfeeding Program, successfully conducted the Unified Action for Mother-Baby Friendly CALABARZON Through Medical Society Collaboration on June 16โ€“17, 2026 at the Richmonde Hotel Eastwood.

Their presentations provided valuable insights on maternal nutrition, breastfeeding promotion and support, Mother-Baby Friendly Health Facility and workplace standards, legal frameworks protecting breastfeeding, and community-based initiatives that empower mothers and families.

The two-day collaboration aimed to strengthen and harmonize the implementation of the Mother-Baby Friendly Health Facility Initiative (MBFHFI), reinforce compliance with Executive Order No. 51 (Philippine Milk Code), and advance evidence-based breastfeeding practices across CALABARZON. Through meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collective action, participants identified strategies to enhance partnerships and further promote policies and practices that ensure every mother and child receives the care, protection, and support they deserve.

Together, we move closer to a Mother-Baby Friendly CALABARZON, where breastfeeding is protected, promoted, and supported at every level of society.
