Hospital ActivitesSNIMS Observed World Breast feeding week-August 1-7th 2015

Quoting our beloved late Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam “If a country is to be

corruption free & become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are

three key societal members who can make a difference. They are Father,

Teacher and last but never the least Mother. “Mothers are always the

epitome of selfless love and the bonds they share with their children are

indeed the purest form of affection one can find and to Emphasize the

importance of mother saying goes “Ma at whose breast humanity is

nourished and whose lap civilizations are cradled”. Shows the importance

of Breast feeding in bui lding a healthy & strong nation.

On this World Breastfeeding Week, WABA calls for concerted global action

which aims at providing support to women in combining breastfeeding and

work. Even at the work places, we have seen more and more actions being

taken to set up breastfeeding workplaces.

The

theme “Breastfeeding & Work, let's make it work” stood as the main pillar

around which all these activities revolved” .

The Southern Province of Gwadhong in China established a big

actory for producing sterile male mosquitoes. About one million sterilized

male mosquitoes are liberated from the factory per week. Aim is to reduce

multiplication of Aedes mosquitoes which spreads Dengue syndrome. The

Researchers claim that in the first week of release of sterile male mosquitoes

tself the number of Aedes mosquitoes have reduced by 90%.These sterile

mosquitoes were released to SHASI Island of Gwadhong Province where

Dengue Syndrome was spreading .

The mechanism is explained as these male sterile mosquitoes will mate with

emale Aedes mosquitoes in the area leading to mass decrease in production

of eggs of mosquitoes. The male mosquitoes are not blood – feeders; hence

here is no fear of spread of Dengue through this factory -made mosquitoes.ource- News in Malayala Manorama Daily Dated 04-08-2015
