Empowering Healthcare Professionals Through Breastfeeding Education
As part of its commitment to advancing clinical excellence and improving maternal and child health, Shifa Center of Professional Excellence (SCOPE), in collaboration with the Department of Pediatrics, Shifa International Hospitals Limited, successfully conducted the 5th Breastfeeding Workshop in August 2026.
The workshop was led by Dr. Masooma Fatima, Consultant Pediatrics, who highlighted the critical importance of evidence-based breastfeeding practices in improving maternal and newborn health outcomes.
The interactive sessions focused on the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding in line with national and international guidelines. Participants strengthened their practical skills in breastfeeding techniques, including proper positioning, effective latching, management of common breastfeeding challenges, and communication and counseling strategies to better support mothers throughout their breastfeeding journey.
The workshop brought together a diverse group of healthcare professionals, including consultants, general practitioners, fellows, postgraduate trainees, medical officers, house officers, and nurses, providing a valuable platform for knowledge sharing, skill enhancement, and professional development.
Through initiatives like these, SCOPE continues to promote evidence-based clinical practice and strengthen the capacity of healthcare professionals to deliver compassionate, high-quality care for mothers and newborns.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Dr. Masooma Fatima, all participants, and the organizing team for their dedication and valuable contributions in making this workshop a success.
Together, we continue to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding, giving every child the healthiest possible start in life.
