The proliferation of human milk banks in India is evidence of the collective effort of all stakeholders in prioritizing the nutritional needs of preterm infants. Buoyed by our success, we are committed to marching ahead setting an ambitious goal to impact 1 million babies by 2030.
Our journey continues as we strive to make a lasting and positive difference in the lives of these little ones, ensuring a healthier start for the next generation.”Expressing gratitude to all stakeholders, he further added.
