| Taiwan Alliance for Breastfeeding
Advocacy (TABA) |
Held June 14-16, 2004, South Taiwan
ILCA Liaison: Doris Fok, IBCLC
Doris Fok, IBCLC, ILCA's Asian Ambassador, attended the Taiwan
Alliance for Breastfeeding Advocacy on June 14-16, 2004, at
the invitation of the National Taipei College of Nursing. She
presented her 18-Hour Breastfeeding Counseling Course. Ms. Fok
has been conducting this breastfeeding course for lay
counselors since 1990.
The course, whichis designed for a group of 15, was attended
by 38, including representatives from the government,
hospitals, and the Taiwan mothers' support group. Various
regions of Taiwan were represented. In the past, Dr. Gay
Palmer of England and Debi Bocar of the USA taught the group.
TABA enjoyed having an Asian IBCLC sharing breastfeeding
counseling from the Asian perspective. The course worksheets
will be translated into Chinese so that the materials may be
used and shared with others.
Doris also shared information about IBLCE and ILCA. The IBLCE
brochure has been translated into Chinese by one of the
doctors who attended the course. There was much interest in
the exams. A number of participants hope to form a study group
for the IBLCE in one or two years' time. It is hoped that
there will be a dynamic and vibrant group sitting the IBLCE in
2005.
