First Human Milk Bank
in
Serbia and also in the region of
Southeast Europe has been opened in Institute for neonatology. For many
years Institute for neonatology had collected surplus human
milk from mothers that were hospitalized alongside their infants and
used it to feed other newborns. Nevertheless this activity was limited
because of the lack of adequate equipment to form a fully functional
human milk bank. Recently with the help generous donations from local
authorities and many companies and individuals the most modern
equipment has been acquired, and human milk bank has been set in
operation in March 2010. Now it is possible to collect, analyze,
pasteurize, deeply freeze and store mother’s milk, and than to use it
for feeding newborns, or to precisely fortify the milk before using it.
