HONG KONG CONNECTION: THE PERFECT FORMULA
Despite the introduction of a marketing code by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1981 to regulate the marketing of breastmilk substitutes, Hong Kong allows the industry to regulate itself. Looks at the Philippines where Filipino mothers are misled by doctors who have received benefits from powdered-milk manufacturers into feeding their babies only breastmilk substitutes. The weak Philippines government is also forced to withdraw from a lawsuit under the WHO code against American powdered-milk manufacturers. Examines the situation in Hong Kong where the government's push for breastfeeding is unsuccessful because of powdered- milk manufacturer's advertisements.
