In an effort to support breastfeeding mothers and provide nourishment to babies in need, a Human Milk Depot is launched at SM City San Lazaro in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH), Philippine General Hospital (PGH), Dr. Fabella Memorial Hospital, and the Human Milk Bank Association of the Philippines, on Wednesday Feb. 19.
This initiative aims to encourage breast milk donations, ensuring that preterm and medically fragile infants receive the essential nutrients they need. The Human Milk Depot will serve as a collection and storage center, making it easier for breastfeeding mothers to donate their excess milk safely and conveniently. (MB video by Mark Balmores)
