Kick all the Nestle, Mead Johnson and Ross representatives out of your country. Make sure all new moms have intensive support from someone who has successfully breastfed at least one child. Not knowing enough about how things go in your labor/delivery/postpartum units or what cultural norms and practices are, it's difficult to say more than that at the moment. You could consider doing what they did in Papua New Guinea and make formula a prescription-only item.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
