In Turkey, 62 administrative provinces have baby-friendly hospitals. The annual number of births in these hospitals is 452,000. This means that 56% of annual births take place in baby-friendly hospitals. After an assessment meeting on October 6th this year, the number of baby-friendly hospitals rose to 205, while the number of baby-friendly provinces is now eight. Two administrative districts have also qualified as baby-friendly. Activities first began with the targeting of hospitals and were expanded in 2001 to cover first-step health facilities that are important in supporting breastfeeding.
