The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is truly sad to announce the passing away of our dear friend and ardent breastfeeding advocate, Hussein Hassan Tattue Tarimo, a trailblazer in coordinating effective implementation of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes. He passed away at his home in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on 28 September 2021. Another breastfeeding stalwart, Kamla Bhasin, a Women’s rights activist who worked tirelessly for 35 years with issues related to development, education, gender, media and several others passed away on 25 September 2021.
