“Invest in breastfeeding, invest in the future" 🌎💛

The first week of August marks World Breastfeeding Week, led by WHO, UNICEF & partners, celebrating breastfeeding as the foundation for lifelong health, development & equality.

This year highlights the support women & babies need—through skilled counselling, enforcing the breast-milk substitute code, and creating supportive spaces at home, in healthcare & at work.

Breastfeeding isn’t just good for babies—it’s a smart investment: it lowers healthcare costs, boosts cognitive development, strengthens economies & gives every child the healthy start they deserve. (WHO)

🌫 Air quality alert

The air quality monitor at Cambridge Road Paediatrics (Avondale, Harare) has been brought back online — and the latest readings are deeply concerning.

🔍 You can access the real-time air quality in Avondale for free.

👉 [https://map.purpleair.com](https://map.purpleair.com/air-quality-standards-us-epa-aqi?opt=%2F1%2Flp%2Fa10%2Fp604800%2FcC0&select=96703 #6.75/-18.63/31.352)

💨 It has recorded PM2.5 levels of 165, which is classified as "Red – Unhealthy".

This isn’t just a number — this level of air pollution is linked to:
❤️ Heart disease
🫁 Asthma, bronchitis
🎗 Cancer
🤰 Pregnancy complications (like pre-eclampsia and premature birth)

The WHO estimates air pollution causes over 8 million deaths each year.
(For comparison, breast cancer causes under 1 million deaths annually.)

Even in the leafy northern suburbs, we’re not safe. Air quality is likely even worse in many other areas of Zimbabwe.
