Code in Bangkok


What's CODE; CODE refer to The International CODE of marketing of breastmilk substitue.The International Code was prepared by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) after a process of widespread consultation with governments, the infant feeding industry, professional associations and NGOs. It is weaker than the ideal and some definitions and articles are open to interpretation. The industry has used imaginative methods to circumvent certain elements.The International Code is a unique and indispensable tool to protect and promote breastfeeding - an equally unique but threatened practice - and to ensure that marketing of breastmilk substitutes, feeding bottles and teats is appropriate. More information about the CODE please go to http://www.ibfan.org
