#InspiringMomentsOnTNC #TheNEWChannel | S4:E45 "Striking Out a New Ground and Blazing a Trail for Others to Follow"
Dr. Elvira L. Henares-Esguerra is a trailblazer – an innovative leader in her field, striking out on new ground and blazing a trail for others to follow. No wonder, she has been the recipient of international awards and honors for her work many times over.
Dr. Henares-Esguerra is a practicing dermatologist, a registered pharmacist, and an international board certified lactation consultant. She is a strong supporter of public health, embracing the concerns of all humanity, but she is best known as a staunch advocate of breastfeeding as the most far-reaching and cost-efficient strategy to alleviate poverty.
Elvira Esguerra landed in the Guinness Book of Records in 2006, for gathering 3,541 mothers, the most number of women breastfeeding simultaneously in one site by organizing the event, in partnership with the City of Manila.
In 2008, Elvira was honored as one of the Ten Outstanding Physicians of the Philippines. Also in 2008, she won the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) Gold Medal for launching the “Breastfeeding Olympics” in Beijing, China.
She was appointed as special envoy, ambassador of goodwill for Infant and Young Child Feeding by the President of the Philippines.
The Philippines and mothers everywhere have Esguerra and advocates like her to be grateful for – people who believe the right to breastfeed is something worth fighting for.
