That’s up from 47 per cent in 2015 and 50 per cent in 2017, and compares to 38 per cent of new-borns across the world and just 18 per cent in industrialised countries. The region’s average is the highest of any WHO region and is already above the 2025 global target of ensuring at least 50 per cent of new-borns are breastfed for the first six months of life. We can be proud of the region’s leadership, which reflects sev- eral of its flagship priorities, including ending preventable new-born and child deaths and preventing non-communicable diseases. We should also look at how the region’s leadership can be sustained and accelerated, and at the innovative policies that can make that KV KESAVAN happen.
