Abstract

Human milk bank involves in some processes like collection, screening, storing and distribution of donated human milk. Thus human milk bank (HMB) provides a vital lifesaving and growth stimulant of golden food to those infants who cannot take their mother’s feed either because of pre-mature delivery. In this the largest groups of recipients mothers are those whose infants are pre-mature or under-weight and are not able to suck the milk from their mother’s breast. Donor mothers are carefully selected and also screened for HIV-1, HIV-2, human T-cell leukemia virus 1 and 2, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis. However the beneficial effects of donor milk remain significant and donor milk is still highly preferable in comparison to formula.
