New milk bank launches at Sibiu County Hospital, marking the third in Romania
In a significant step towards improving neonatal care, the Sibiu County Hospital in Romania has recently modernized its neonatology department. This modernization project, financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and European funds, has seen the replacement of old equipment and the addition of more intensive care beds, increasing the department's capacity by 20%.
One of the key aspects of this modernization is the establishment of a breast milk bank. Located within the hospital, this resource provides essential support for vulnerable newborns who cannot be breastfed by their mothers. The breast milk bank primarily focuses on providing milk for premature babies and those with serious medical problems.
The opening of the breast milk bank at the Sibiu County Hospital is not an isolated event. Other milk banks have opened in Brasov and Bucharest, making Romania a country that is increasingly committed to supporting neonatal care. However, detailed listings of breast milk banks or milk bank locations in Romania are not easily accessible to the public.
The Sibiu County Council also contributed to the hospital's neonatology department modernization, providing a co-financing of RON 1.4 million. The total investment for this project was RON 13.5 million (approximately EUR 2.7 million).
As we move forward, it is crucial to continue supporting initiatives that prioritize the health and well-being of newborns. For precise and current details about breast milk banks in Romania, including those in Brașov and Bucharest, it would be advisable to consult Romanian health ministry resources or hospitals directly involved in neonatal care and breastfeeding support.
