It is an honour for me to preside over the Association québécoise des consultantes en lactation certifiées. In keeping with the AQC's mission, together with the members of the Board of Directors, I am committed to continuing the work of promoting and recognizing the IBCLC profession.
Our healthcare system benefits from better breastfeeding support. The AQC advocates for the recognition and positioning of IBCLC lactation consultants within hospitals, medical clinics and community settings, to ensure the accessibility and integration of lactation care for all Quebec families. The AQC is also committed to raising public awareness of the profession, so that families can be our partners in advocating for a more equitable healthcare system.
