Milk Banking

Milk banking is a system through which donated human milk is collected, tested, processed, and distributed to infants in need, especially premature or vulnerable babies whose mothers cannot produce enough milk. This ensures they receive essential nutrients and immune factors vital for healthy development. Milk banks follow strict safety and hygiene standards to prevent contamination. Donors are carefully screened, and milk is pasteurized to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. This community-supported service provides a safe, nutritious alternative to formula and plays a critical role in neonatal care and supporting infant health.
