The South African Breastmilk Reserve is urging more mothers to donate breast milk to support vulnerable newborns. Donor milk helps protect infants from infections and aids their growth when mothers cannot breastfeed. With rising demand, the organization seeks greater public awareness to sustain its efforts.

Taasisi ya Utafiti wa Matibabu Kenya (KEMRI) inafanya utafiti wa kipekee ili kuunda chanjo inayoweza kulinda watoto wapya kutoka magonjwa ya kuambukizwa hospitalini baada ya kuzaliwa. Mpango huu unatokana na wasiwasi unaoongezeka kuhusu maambukizi yanayopatikana hospitalini miongoni mwa watoto wapya, hasa wale waliozaliwa kabla ya wakati au wenye uzito mdogo, ambao mara nyingi hubaki hospitalini kwa muda mrefu chini ya uchunguzi wa matibabu. Ikiwa utafiti utafanikiwa, chanjo ya mama kutoka KEMRI inaweza kuweka Kenya kama kiongozi katika uvumbuzi wa afya ya watoto wapya nchini Afrika.
