This week is #WorldBreastfeedingWeek – investment in breastfeeding is an investment in healthier futures 🌍. Breastfeeding practices could prevent over 800,000 child deaths a year and reduces breast cancer risk by 4% for every 12 months of breastfeeding 🤱❤️.
Le 🇬🇧 soutient la #SemaineAllaitement avec @OMS_Afrique . Lorsque l’accès à l’eau potable est limité, le lait maternel constitue une source naturelle, sûre et complète de nutrition pour les bébés. Il protège contre la diarrhée, la pneumonie et la malnutrition, et sauve des vies.

Great to see the welcome from @AnnelieseDodds for the ATNi Global Nutrition Index. 📋. The 2025 #N4G Summit is an important opportunity to mobilise commitments to make nutritious foods affordable and accessible🌍.
We’re moving in the right direction, but must speed up our efforts to make nutritious foods accessible for all to create a world free from hunger and malnutrition. I welcome the ATNI Global Nutrition Index. This tool is vital as we look to #N4GParis.

The annual Gates Goalkeepers Report cites malnutrition as the worst health crisis children face globally. Gates urges global leaders to direct investment to where it could have the biggest impact, including the Child Nutrition Fund, co-founded by the UK🌎.

Take it from @BillGates: If global leaders invest in health and nutrition innovations, we can ensure kids get healthier—even as the world gets hotter. Read more about tackling one of the world’s greatest challenges in this year’s #Goalkeepers2030 report:

Empowering Women and Girls is a priority. “Taking Action on Women’s Nutrition” is a key part of this. Many thanks to the Women’s Tennis Association for inviting Lord Collins to participate in Saturday’s discussion and meet with their legendary members for #womenchangethegame 🎾♀️.
Malnutrition holds back education, equality and economic growth, and tackling it will help us as we work to achieve the UN's #GlobalGoals. Great to meet with @WTA and @gatesfoundation as we strive to improve health outcomes for women and children.
