Facility to ensure breast milk for newborn babies
Kerala’s first Human Milk Bank, ‘Nectar of Life’, will be opened at Ernakulam General Hospital on Friday. Health Minister K.K. Shylaja will inaugurate the facility at a function at the the hospital at 3 p.m. It’s being set up with the support of the Rotary Club of Cochin Global. The facility is set up with an aim to ensure breast milk for newborn babies who are not being breastfed by their own mothers who may be sick, deceased or due to insufficient production of breast milk. “Though the concept had come to India 32 years ago, Kerala did not have a milk bank till now. This is where Rotary took the lead to bring the project to the State with two breast milk banks — one at Ernakulam and the other at Jubilee Medical Mission Hospital in Thrissur,” stated Madhav Chandran, past Governor of Rotary District 3201.
