Despite the wealth of evidence about the benefits of breastfeeding, the commercial milk formula (CMF) industry continues to grow and project future profits, fuelled by aggressive and pervasive marketing practices that include the targeting of health care professionals. When health professionals and their associations accept funding from the CMF industry, this creates a conflict of interest (COI). The World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have therefore issued clear unequivocal guidance including through World Health Assembly resolutions that health care institutions and professional associations should refuse sponsorship from the CMF industry. We urge health professionals in South Africa to heed this call to protect their professional integrity and ensure that care and support for pregnant and breastfeeding women, children and families is free from commercial influence.
尽管有大量证据表明母乳喂养有益，但商业配方奶粉行业仍在持续增长并预计未来会有利润，激进且无处不在的营销手段推动了这一趋势，其中包括将医疗保健专业人员作为目标对象。当卫生专业人员及其协会接受商业配方奶粉行业的资金时，就会产生利益冲突。因此，世界卫生组织（WHO）和联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）已发布明确无误的指导意见，包括通过世界卫生大会决议指出，医疗机构和专业协会应拒绝商业配方奶粉行业的赞助。我们敦促南非的卫生专业人员响应这一号召，以维护其职业操守，并确保对孕妇、哺乳期妇女、儿童及家庭的护理和支持不受商业影响。
