Ormoc was declared second most ‘child-friendly city’ in the country

“Ormoc was declared second most ‘child-friendly city’ in the country. We had lactating spaces in all public buildings, transport terminals, even in supermarkets. After Yolanda, many of these areas are not in use anymore, but we hope it will be soon as it was.” - Elsie Jaca, Health Emergency Coordinator, Ormoc City.

“As someone who breastfed both of her babies, I know first-hand how challenging it can be at times, but I also know it’s worth persevering. It really is the best thing mums can do for their babies, especially in circumstances where good nutrition and protection from infections are absolutely vital. We need to do everything we can to support mums affected by Typhoon #Haiyan to breastfeed.” – Julie Hall, WHO Country Representatives for the #Philippines
