Milk bank will be set up at SAT Hospital in Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital and Thrissur Medical College Hospital, Health Minister Veena George has said.
The milk bank, opened at the Institute of Maternal and Child Health (IMCH) at Kozhikode an year ago, was a huge success and the facility had helped several infants. SAT hospital and IMCH Kozhikode were two hospitals in the State where the maximum number of deliveries took place and hence a milk bank at SAT would benefit many more infants, Ms. George said in a statement here.
The milk bank at IMCH had benefitted 1,813 infants in the past one year. A total of 1,397 mothers donated milk to the bank.
