The College of Graduate Studies discussed a master’s thesis entitled: (Estimation of some biochemical indicators in lactating and non-lactating women with a study of the microbial content of breast milk) for a graduate student (i.e., Jawad Khazar) Department of Community Health Technologies at the College of Health and Medical Technologies.
The discussion committee consisted of professors:
• Prof. Dr. Wassan Abdul-Amir Ali / Microbiology / Bacteria - Southern Technical University / Basra Technical Institute / Chairman.

The study aimed to compare the different biochemical indicators of serum in women in relation to the age of the mother, the sex of the child, the type of breast-feeding, and a comparison of non-breastfeeding women.
The study recommended that the child should continue to breastfeed for at least six months in order to obtain full benefit from it for both the child and the mother, with a focus on taking nutritional supplements as decided by the doctor, in addition to studying other biochemical elements in future studies such as vitamin Zn, B12, and A.
The committee decided to accept the study and grant the student a master's degree in Community Health Technologies, with a grade of distinction
