Guidance on regulatory measures aimed at restricting digital marketing of breast-milk substitutes📘 #Digital #environments are fast becoming the #predominant source of exposure to #promotion of #breastmilk #substitutes globally. Digital marketing amplifies the reach and power of #advertising and other forms of promotion in digital #environments, and #exposure to digital marketing increases the #purchase and #use of breast-milk substitutes. In light of this #evidence, the Seventy-fifth World Health Assembly requested that WHO develop guidance for Member States on regulatory measures aimed at #restricting the #digital #marketing of breast-milk substitutes. This guidance applies to marketing of products within the scope of the Code as well as #foods for #infants and #young #children that are not breast-milk substitutes. https://lnkd.in/gBgxAM9x World Health Organization UNICEF Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination Aga Khan University Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies Consortium Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement World Food Programme UN-Nutrition USAID MOMENTUM Nutrition International SickKids Centre for Global Child Health Save the Children International Action Against Hunger UK Kirk Humanitarian
