By Nangalama Moses 
Hundreds of mothers attended the activism of breastfeeding and PPH celebrations on thursday this week  at Bukiende Sub county. Mbale district with a big perspective of ensuring communities support women to breastfeed anytime, anywhere, so that it is normalized and not censured in public life.
This event was a big success making rounds of positive deliberations during our community focus on areas defined under the themes of breastfeeding and PPH.

Masaba Fred the local council one welcomed this commemoration adding that the Sub county leadership has done credible work supporting mothers.
He appealed to women to continue embracing health services and making sure babies are breastfed fully.

Given the fact the month of August has been the activism for PPH and breastfeeding in the district, this time round the campaign took place in Bukiende which is hard to reach.
