WHO

Published in : 2006

Available in : English

Researchers, programme implementers, infant feeding experts and representatives of the IATT, UN agencies, the WHO Regional Office for Africa and six WHO headquarters departments gathered in Geneva in order to review the substantial body of new evidence and experience regarding HIV and infant feeding that has been accumulating since a previous technical consultation in October 2000, and since the Glion and Abuja calls to action on the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. The aim was to establish whether it is possible to clarify and refine the existing UN guidance, which was based on the recommendations from the previous meeting.
