Cuba Enlarges Network of Human Milk Banks |
|
|
Monday, August 14, 2017
Havana.- Cuba has increased to ten the number of human milk banks, after a new facility was inaugurated in central Cienfuegos province.
That action strengthens the country's network, so Cuba ranks third in Ibero-America among countries with the highest number of that kind of bank per every one million inhabitants.
According to experts, the strategy responds to the sustained cooperation between the government, the Ministry of Public Health and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
Milk banks are a guarantee for newborns who are seriously ill or who need surgery in the first days of life.
In 2016, that network provided assistance and guidance about the correct breastfeeding techniques and how to donate milk, and collected 1,591 liters of that food.
