Balochistan becomes the first province in the country to establish baby feed corners & nursing rooms. The government of Balochistan is fully committed to expanding its nutrition programme across the province. Earlier the programme had been initiated in only seven districts of the province, however, now the programme aims to extend its reach to 22 districts of Balochistan. While speaking at the conference, Dr Buledi emphasized the need to gather resources of the various departments in the United Nations Nutrition program in making sure that their contribution leads to achieving all the targets set out in the nutrition project. The provincial health department is implementing the “Balochistan Nutrition Project for Mothers and Children” supported by the World Bank and led by the “Multi Donor Trust Fund”.
