20243 citationsOpen accessUniversity of Namibia

Abstract

Since studies have shown that the possibility of reducing the risk of morbidity related to diarrhoeal infections in children requires well-informed parents, all relevant organizations and governmental ministries that deals with health services and children's well-being should make use of mass media like radio and television to constantly spread consistent messages on breastfeeding and advocate for better implementation of sanitation and hygiene practices among mothers with children aged 0-2 years, especially in rural and poorest areas of the Kavangos (East/West) and Caprivi/Zambezi regions.
