Al-Ahsa Health Affairs: Breastfeeding Benefits Both Baby and Mom
19 July 2022

Al-Ahsa Health Affairs has stresed the importance of breastfeeding for both mother and baby, indicating that breast milk contains important nutrients for infants as long as they continue to breastfeed and breastfed babies are less likely to gain weight and more capable to fight infection and diseases. They can also build a stronger immune system.​

It underlined its keenness to raise awareness among mothers about the benefits of breastfeeding, to encourage them to breastfeed their children within the first hour of birth, and be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life. It has implemented 43 programs in this regard during the first quarter of this year.
