How the Breast Milk Bank Works at the Kyiv Perinatal Center | UNN
Modern studies confirm that breast milk is not just food, but a unique system that adapts to the needs of the baby.
Specialists recommend exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of a baby’s life. However, sometimes the mother does not have milk, or there is not enough of it. In such cases, donor milk becomes a priority.
Special banks operate to collect and store such milk.
The first Breast Milk Bank in Ukraine was launched on March 1, 2019 at the Kyiv Perinatal Center.
Its opening was an important event for the Ukrainian healthcare system, because before that, there was no specialized institution of this type in the country.
Anna Osipova, the head of the breast milk bank, pediatrician-neonatologist, tells how the Breast Milk Bank works at the Kyiv Perinatal Center.
