Jwala Gutta, Indian badminton player, donates 60 litres of breast milk to govt hospitals. Here’s why

Indian badminton player Jwala Gutta has revealed that she donated around 60 litres of breast milk to government hospitals in Hyderabad and Chennai during the first year after childbirth.

Explaining the reason behind her decision, she wrote in a post on X, “Just 100 ml of donor milk can feed a tiny 1 kg baby for several days. This donation could potentially support dozens of infants in the NICU. Donating is safe, screened and desperately needed. Many NICU babies don't have immediate access to their mother's own milk due to medical complications. Donor milk acts as a vital bridge, providing immunity and nutrition during those critical first days.”
