ĐANANG : Lê Thị Thanh Hương is on her way to the bank to make a withdrawal.Hương is a volunteer of Vietnam's first breast milk bank under the Đà Nẵng Hospital for Women and Children.
Another volunteer, Trương Thị Khánh Ly, is a nurse at the hospital. She spends her lunch break travelling 30km from Hội An Ancient Town to take breast milk from Bùi Thị Thuý Lan – a “VIP” donor, who already gave more than 105 litres in seven months. They are divided into three groups to cover all districts of the city and manage the list of donors. The volunteers are tasked to receive and transport the milk after the donor contacts the milk bank’s hotline.
Premature babies and ill newborn babies, whose parents were poor, would receive the free milk from the bank, she said. Lê Đức Toàn, secretary of the hospital’s Youth Union, said the bank’s volunteer team was expected to be developed into a network with its supports outside the hospital, aiming to help more babies in the future.
