The mobile approach brings essential services closer to families, ensuring a steady and accessible supply of human milk for our Breastmilk Storage Hub for Cotabato City. It strengthens our commitment to promoting exclusive breastfeeding , supporting lactating mothers, and safeguarding the health and survival of infants 0 to 23 months.
