Setting up the first human milk bank in Uganda: a success story from Nsambya hospital.

The World Health Organization (WHO) strongly recommends the use of donor human milk (DHM) for low birth weight infants when mother's own milk is unavailable or insufficient. However, the use of DHM requires the availability of human milk banks (HMBs), the majority of which are in middle and high-income countries. Developing countries offer multiple opportunities and challenges regarding the establishment and operationalization of HMBs. This study describes the experience in setting up the HMB in Uganda at St. Francis Hospital Nsambya. The establishment of the first HMB in Uganda followed a step-wise approach using the PATH's Resource Toolkit for Establishing and Integrating Human Milk Banks. The steps included: performing a facility readiness assessment, implementing quality control measures, forming and training a committee for the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, establishing a monitoring and evaluation system, developing a communication strategy, engaging with the Ministry of Health, providing staff training by a Human Milk Bank consultant, and maintaining regular coordination by a dedicated technical team. A total of 170 donors have been screened and of these 140 have donated milk with a mean age of 26 years since the establishment of the bank in November 2021. A total of 108 admitted neonates have received the milk; majority (88%) are preterm infants with a mean gestational age of 34 weeks. A total of 90 liters have been collected and 76 distributed. The challenges in establishment of the Human Milk bank included: lack of guidelines on human milk banking, use of unpasteurized milk, lack of communication strategy, lack of clear model infrastructure and lactation training. We addressed the challenges: by drafting guidelines, set up a human milk bank and had training on use donor pasteurized milk, designed communication messages through videos and brochures, visited Pumwani hospital and remodeled the Human Milk Bank according to the model at Pumwani, all the health workers in the human milk bank had a training on Lactation. Assessing the experiences and attitudes of mothers, donors, healthcare providers, and hospital leaders revealed concerns about milk safety and fear about potential attachments or acquired traits through the donated milk to the babies that may receive it. Donors viewed milk donation as a life-saving act, although fears of breast cancer and lumps arose from misconceptions. To address these perspectives, creative media, such as videos and messages, were designed to raise awareness, promote behavioral change, and create demand for the HMB services. The establishment and integration of HMB services at hospitals in Uganda is feasible.

Factors Associated with First Antenatal Care Visit (K1) in Pregnant Women at The Mungka Health Center, Lima Puluh Kota

Pregnancy is a natural process that occurs to maintain the continuity of human civilization. Pregnant women are included in a vulnerable group so many health problems arise in pregnant women and even cause death. This can be proven by the high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country where maternal mortality is still a major problem, namely 126 per 100,000 live births. One effort to reduce maternal mortality is to carry out health checks through antenatal services that comply with standards set by the government. The aim of ANC is to prepare the best physically and mentally and save the mother and child during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, so that during postpartum the mother and child are healthy and normal physically and mentally. This type of research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 562 pregnant women in the working area of ​​the Mungka Community Health Center, Limapuluh Kota Regency. The sampling technique is using a proportional stratified random sampling technique. The number of samples in this study was 75 people with a reserve of 10% of the minimum sample, namely 8 people, so the sample in this study was 83 people. The variables used in this study were mother's knowledge of ANC, mother's attitude towards ANC, mother's confidence in ANC, distance between mother's residence and ANC, mother's socio-economic status with ANC, mother's occupation with ANC, support from health workers with ANC, and family support with ANC. ANC. The data that has been obtained will be carried out using Univariate analysis, Bivariate analysis and Multivariate analysis. The results of this research explain that all variables are interrelated and have the same opportunities. The mother's lack of knowledge about ANC influences ANC attitudes and beliefs. Insufficient ANC visits are also associated with the distance to health facilities which is quite far. The socio-economic and employment conditions of pregnant women can support ANC visits but do not strengthen the relationship in carrying out ANC. The competition between health workers means that support from health workers is lacking and good family support is not yet a strong factor in carrying out ANC. Keywords: Pregnancy, ANC, knowledge, family support, cross-sectional approach
