BRAZILIAN BREASTFEEDING INCENTIVE PROGRAMME HUMAN MILK BANK PRIMARY CARE NETWORK BFHI CODE Minist.HealthCoordinationandassessorsCommittee KangarooCare WBW, CAMPAIGNS WORKING WOMEN AND BF EDUCATION/INFORMATION MATERIALS MONITORING Analogous to a well-oiled engine, our successful programme indicates the need for several key "gears" to be working in synchrony and coordination. 

  4. Key child health indicators in Brazil (2015) • Population …………………………….…….208 million • PIB per capita.................................US$11.208 • Under 5 mortality rate (/1000 live births)..16.4 • Infant mortality rate (/1000 live births)……14.6 Key breastfeeding indicators – trends Early initiation of Breastfeeding……………………………………. 43% (2006) Exclusive breastfeeding in 0-5 months olds …3% (1986)…41% (2008) Median duration of breastfeeding…5 mo (1975)………….14 mo(2006)

  5. ONDE ESTAMOS: BRASIL BRAZIL TRENDS IN INDICATOR BF 24 months THE OTHER IMPORTANT BF INDICATORS – EBF -6mo, BF 12mo – DO NOT SHOW INCREASE IN 2013.

  6. Annual numbers of newly BFHI accredited hospitals in Brazil between 1992 and 2016 382 hospitals were accredited for the BFHI, an average of 15 per year.

  7. Training courses performed for the implementation of BFHI in Brazil between 1992 and 2015, sponsored and carried out by MoH. Here is not included local training courses in municipalities and maternity hospitals, difficult to quantify.

  10. Annual numbers of newly BFHI accredited hospitals in Brazil between 1992 and 2016 382 hospitals were accredited for the BFHI, an average of 15 per year.

  11. HOW BFHI IS FUNDED IN BRAZIL Since 1994, BFHI accredited hospitals receive financial incentives including higher reimbursements for best practices during delivery and birth. Currently this is 8.5 % more per caesarean section and 17% more per normal delivery. . Estimated cost for a global assessment ………US $750 p/hosp Since its inception BFHI has been funded by the government of Brazil (federal , states and municipality budgets). BFHI plaques are funded by the UNICEF Brazil office.

  12. BFHI GOOD RESULTS: A recent national survey during the immunization campaign found that being born in a BFH was associated with timely breastfeeding initiation and longer EBF duration: • 9% higher chance to be breastfed in the first hour of life. • Median duration of 60 days of exclusive breastfeeding • compared to 48 days when born in a non-BFHI hospital. Venancio S.I., Saldiva S.R., Escuder M.M. & Giugliani E.R. (2012) The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative shows positive effects on breastfeeding indicators in Brazil. Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health 66 (10), 914–8.

  13. THE WAY FORWARD... BFHI process was revised in 2014 looking for better quality and sustainability • From 2014 the accreditation process in the BFHI was revised including: • Ten steps • The Code • Women´s friendly care during labour and delivery • Access of parents to at risk babies in Neonatal Care Unit • Hospital self monitoring annually using a computerized tool • Reassessment each 3 years with external BFHI assessors, expire date. • Update and training of old and new BFHI assessors in the new process • Improving practices in private hospitals to accomplish the needed decline in C-sections in the country.
