The Sharjah Baby-Friendly campaign has announced a new mobile breastfeeding unit at Al Qasba, the most popular tourist and leisure destination in Sharjah, to allow mothers to breastfeed, and care for their infants.

The mobile breastfeeding unit, which will be present throughout Ramadan, contains all necessary breastfeeding equipment such as a breastfeeding chair, food refrigerator, awareness brochures that contain tips for healthy breastfeeding, and breastfeeding nurses who will provide mothers with advice on how to care for their babies.

Dr. Hessa Khalfan Al Ghazal, Director of the Executive Committee of the Sharjah Baby-Friendly Emirate Campaign, said, "Our campaign aims to contribute to building a healthy community and ensure the health of individuals through initiatives such as the provision of breastfeeding rooms and by taking care of mothers and their infants at the workplace as well as the most visited public places.

“We thank the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority for their collaboration with us to achieve our goals and turn Sharjah into a totally baby-friendly emirate by end of this year."
