Pumwani Maternity Hospital will now provide breast milk to vulnerable newborns who cannot get their mother's breast milk. This is after the first breast milk Bank was launched at the facility on Friday making it the first to have such a bank in the region. This will see milk collected from lactating mothers who have more milk to spare. The milk bank is now among over 600 human milk banks globally. Pumwani Hospital has a capacity of 150 baby cots, with a daily occupancy of 60 infants.
