This center will collect, process, and distribute donated breast milk to care for premature newborns or those with health problems who cannot be breastfed by their mothers.

The implementation of this milk bank will contribute to reducing neonatal mortality and improving the health of babies in vulnerable situations.

Health authorities are working on developing protocols and training the staff who will operate the bank, as well as raising public awareness about the importance of this initiative.
