CDMX Hospitals Accept Human Milk Donations

Why this is here: Hospitales in CDMX received donations from women who met strict health criteria, ensuring safe milk for neonates needing specialized care.

In Mexico City, several hospitals are receiving donations of human milk to support newborns, especially premature babies or those with health issues. These banks of human milk analyze donated milk for quality and safety before distributing it to hospitalized infants.

The Instituto Nacional de Perinatología, Hospital General de México, and Hospital General “Dr. Manuel Gea González” are among the authorized donation centers.

Women wishing to donate must first meet their own child’s nutritional needs and then pass medical screenings and lab tests. Donors should maintain healthy habits and cannot have certain conditions like HIV or recent transfusions.

The Secretariat of Health emphasizes these milk banks ensure safe nutrition for neonates needing specialized care. However, determining long-term impacts and expanding access to these resources remains an ongoing effort. Milk donation continues to support vulnerable infants in CDMX.
