Subject: New CPC - yes changes were made - my response to the changes


>I encourage others to write IBLCE about the FAQs.  Below is my letter about

> Dear IBLCE
>
> The changes make sense, although I am disappointed to see the WHO Code is
> not in the body of the CPC, and I chafe at a medical code (Council of
> Medical Specialty Societies) setting a standard for me - why use another
> profession's code and why would one think medicine has a higher standard
> than IBLCE?  Why rely on any other professional code when IBLCE has been a
> leader in the area of setting a standard around avoiding conflict of
> interest and upholding high ethics standards?
>
> Please correct the typo (I assume it is a typo, since IBLCE would be well
> versed in all things about the WHO Code) - the resolutions are from WHA -
> the World Health Assembly.
>
> Since revising the CPC, it seems the FAQs have not been revised.  Any that
> involve the WHO Code are misleading - on one hand, you recognize the WHO
> Code and (I assume) how IBCLCs depend on it to protect their ethical
> practice but then you dismiss it in the examples in the FAQs.
>
> You want us to promote, protect, and support breastfeeding, yet you
> undermine an IBCLC's position by providing FAQs that employers and 
> industry
> can use to justify breaking the WHO Code.
>
> Please remember that even if the WHO Code is not a law in my country, I 
> can
> work by a higher ethics-based standard by upholding the WHO Code.

> Sincerely,
> Joy
