Nowadays, the rates of breastfeeding at a national level is quite low in comparison to international recommendations. In the course of time, breastfeeding along with its innumerable and scientifically substantiated benefits, has shown the dire need for its implementation, promotion, protection and support from society as a whole. The benefits are just as relevant to the short-term health as to the long-term health of the child and the mother, as well as the direct family members, society, the environment, the state, the national health system as well as to the economy.
Therefore, a proper strategy is required in order to form a well-organized and clearly defined plan to permanently increase the existing low rates of breastfeeding, which is the main purpose of the current project at hand.
