‘Human Milk Bank’ is a less popular but very important need of the society. Premature babies are seen fighting for their lives in NICUs. India ranks 36th out of 199 countries surveyed for premature births. Total 3.6 million babies are premature born out of 27 million new born in a year and 303600 babies die due to premature birth complications. In spite of well equipped facilities and capable medical help, they need their mother’s milk as a basic need for their survival.
