Human Milk Bank

A Human Milk Bank is a facility that collects, screens, processes, and distributes donated breast milk to infants in need, especially preterm or vulnerable babies, when their mother's milk isn't available or sufficient. Donors voluntarily provide their milk, which is carefully tested for safety to prevent the spread of infections. The milk is then pasteurized to eliminate bacteria while preserving nutrients. This service ensures that fragile infants receive the vital benefits of human milk, supporting their growth and immune development, and helping families who cannot, for various reasons, provide enough breast milk themselves.
