Milk banks in emergencies must plan like blood banks
Original: Why milk banks in emergencies must plan like blood banks
A commentary argues that human milk banks should adopt the same emergency preparedness standards as blood banks, so that safe donor milk can keep reaching infants during disasters and crises. The piece suggests treating donor milk as critical medical supply, with reliable storage, screening and distribution systems in place before emergencies strike rather than improvising afterwards.
Why now: It highlights a gap in emergency health planning that specialists are being urged to close.
