The Ministry of Health has put an end to the sale and promotion of infant formula at health facilities. Despite companies wanting to distribute the formula to disadvantaged mothers under the guise of charity, the ministry firmly rejected their requests.
In little more than a year, more than 15,000 workers at 18 factories in the capital and two provinces have attended training courses on healthy diet and infant and child parenting from Helen Keller International in Cambodia. Experts believe that their improved dietary and nutritional knowledge will help to keep them healthier.

The meeting was attended by the managers of several large factories and enterprises.
