WHO launches youth video competition as World Breastfeeding Week begins
Summary
The briefing flagged a WHO global video competition (Aug. 1–Sept. 13) inviting students and young professionals to develop videos on influenza and COVID-19 prevention, and noted World Breastfeeding Week's theme urging investment in interventions to strengthen breastfeeding outcomes.
The spokesperson highlighted two public-health items: the World Health Organization has opened a global video competition running from August 1 to September 13 that invites students and young professionals to develop videos highlighting influenza and COVID-19 prevention and control.
"The videos are encouraged to be innovative, address misinformation and myths, and encourage their community to protect themselves," the briefing said. The winner will be featured on the WHO web page.
Farhan also noted that World Breastfeeding Week began on Saturday and will continue through Friday with the theme "breastfeeding for a sustainable start in life, strengthen what works," calling on governments and health systems to invest in evidence-based interventions.
