The 78th World Health Assembly (WHA78)will be on the 19 -24 May, 2025, gathering almost 200 Ministers of Health in Geneva, at Palais des Nations. As every year it has been an important moment to review and planning the main public health priorities the world are facing.
In the face of the budgetary and political crisis following the USA withdrawal from WHO, IBFAN will be present once again at the WHA78 advocating that WHO remains strong on its core constitutional purpose to help governments protect the health of all citizens.
In the face of the budgetary and political crisis following the USA withdrawal from WHO, the EB 156 remained strong in its core constitutional purpose to help governments protect the health of all citizens and recommended forwarding a Draft Resolution on regulating the digital marketing of breast-milk substitutes.
Brazil is leading countries like Mexico, Norway, Lesotho lead initiative to curb abusive digital marketing practices targeting breastmilk substitutes.
IBFAN is supporting Brazil’s Zero Draft Resolution on Digital Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes that we hope will be adopted with no weakening at the 78th World Health Assembly next May.
We are a global network which has worked tirelessly to combat misleading commercial promotion and protect breastfeeding, a vital pillar for children’s well-being.
