Pat, I have just done a health science module with the Open University UK, for my IBCLC exam prerquisites - in particular we studied water and health and the illnesses caused by lack of access to clean water. We studied Kibera, the Kenyan slum (circa 170,000 people) where the health clinics don't even have running water - I saw video footage of just buckets on the floor for hand washing. Unfortunately, despite studied infant malnutrition and diahoerreal diseases, breastfeeding was just not mentioned. I brought this up on our student forum and was basically 'slammed' by a few other students  -'how do you expect malnourished mothers to feed infants etc.'. These are the health care workers of the future. We need to impact university texts and curriculums....
