New Delhi, Aug 8 (UNI) Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Harsh Vardhan on Thursday said breastfeeding should not be seen as an issue that concerns only women and mothers, but be made a shared societal responsibility.
Addressing a function here to mark the World Breastfeeding Week-2019, he said breastfeeding should be made a shared societal responsibility, where not only the mother, but all in her family, community and also at work place, are considerate and support the feeding mother, by creating an enabling environment.
Even the theme of this year of World Breastfeeding Week is 'to empower parents, enable breastfeeding: now and for the future,' he added.
