Celebrating Independence, Empowering Newborns: Surya Hospitals Honours Human Milk Donors<\/strong><\/p>\n

As India celebrates its 77th Independence Day, Surya Hospitals, a renowned institution in women and children’s healthcare, has chosen to highlight a vital initiative that has been making a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable newborns. The hospital’s Human Milk Bank, which has been supporting over 2,000 babies since its inception in 2019, has been at the forefront of promoting access to safe and nutritious donor human milk for premature, low-birthweight, and medically fragile newborns.<\/p>\n

The Importance of Donor Human Milk<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Surya Human Milk Bank has been working tirelessly to address a critical aspect of newborn care \u2013 ensuring access to appropriate nutrition when a mother’s own milk is temporarily unavailable or insufficient. This is especially crucial for premature and low-birthweight babies, who require extra nutritional support during their early days of life. Human milk is particularly valuable for these tiny warriors as it is easier to digest and provides essential nutrients and protective factors that help them grow and thrive.<\/p>\n

A Beacon of Hope for Newborns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, approximately 100-120 low-birthweight babies at Surya Hospitals require breastmilk support as part of their clinical care. The Human Milk Bank has been a beacon of hope for these little ones, providing them with safe and nutritious donor human milk when they need it most. The hospital’s commitment to ensuring that quality-checked donor milk reaches eligible newborns has been instrumental in saving countless lives.<\/p>\n

Honouring the Spirit of Giving<\/strong><\/p>\n

On this Independence Day, Surya Hospitals has chosen to honour the spirit of giving by recognizing the selfless contributions of human milk donors. Artist and mother Jankee Mehta, who has personally contributed as a milk donor, joined the celebrations as Chief Guest and called for greater awareness among mothers about human milk donation. She said, “As a mother, knowing that your milk can help another baby grow stronger and healthier makes the act of giving truly meaningful. On Independence Day, as we celebrate the spirit of giving, I hope more eligible mothers become aware that surplus breastmilk can be donated safely and consider supporting babies who need it most.”<\/p>\n

A Multi-Step Process for Safe Donor Milk<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the Human Milk Bank, donors undergo rigorous screening, while donated milk is tested, processed, and pasteurised before being stored under controlled conditions. This multi-step process is designed to ensure that safe, quality-checked donor milk reaches babies who meet the clinical criteria for receiving it. The hospital also provides counselling and medical guidance to address concerns around donation, including the misconception that donating milk could reduce the supply available for a mother’s own baby.<\/p>\n

A Message from the Founder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Bhupendra S. Avasthi, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, Surya Hospitals, said, “The vision behind the Surya Human Milk Bank is to ensure that premature newborns who cannot receive sufficient mother’s milk have access to safe donor human milk. This Independence Day, we hope to reinforce that the spirit of freedom is also about giving every child a healthier start in life. Through rigorous screening, pasteurisation, and controlled storage, we are committed to ensuring that quality-checked donor milk reaches eligible newborns. At the same time, we want to create greater awareness and address misconceptions around human milk donation so that more eligible mothers can make informed decisions and contribute to this meaningful cause.”<\/p>\n

A Brighter Future for Newborns<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Surya Hospitals continues to expand awareness around human milk donation, encourage more eligible mothers to become donors, and strengthen access to donor milk, the future looks brighter for vulnerable newborns. The hospital’s commitment to promoting access to safe and nutritious donor human milk has been instrumental in saving countless lives, and it is a testament to the power of human kindness and generosity. On this Independence Day, let us celebrate the spirit of giving and honour the selfless contributions of human milk donors who are making a difference in the lives of newborns.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
