Last chance! 🚨

Breast milk is critical for protecting the health and survival of preterm and vulnerable newborns. When preterm and vulnerable newborns cannot access all the breast milk they need, donor human milk plays a role in ensuring that they can still be exclusively fed human milk.

Join the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and countries working to increasing access to donor human milk banking as part of their national newborn care strategies, as we launch two new documents that will inform the next chapter of donor human milk banking:
âś… The WHO Standards for Donor Human Milk Banking, establishing the first global standards for the safety, quality and ethical practice of donor human milk banking
âś… The Implementation Guidance on Donor Human Milk Banking: Organizational characteristics and regulatory classification, jointly published by UNICEF and WHO

Attendees will hear directly from country representatives about how their countries are integrating donor human milk banking into broader newborn care and breastfeeding protection strategies.

This webinar is for the newborn and neonatal community, the global milk banking community, breastfeeding and nutrition advocates, and funders.
