Speaking about the partnership, Oliver Mary Director Marketing Fresh Dairy said, “We recognize that by joining UNAPCHN expertise in children and Fresh Dairy expertise in Nutrition, we are in the best position to create a Healthy generation together in Uganda.”
“Fresh Dairy will support UNAPCHN in carrying out Paediatric and Child Health Nurses initiatives across the country to include Research, Health Education, Medical camps, Health care professionals’ engagement, Patients care, Parents input and Children involvement,” Oliver added.
Jolly Rubambarama, Chairperson UNAPCHN thanked Fresh Dairy for coming on board as a partner for nutrition and noted that in Uganda, the speciality of paediatric and child health nurses requires a multi-sectoral approach with involvement from Government, private sector, medical personnel, parents and communities at large because it is a matter that affects everybody.
