European Milk Bank Association

The European Milk Bank Association (EMBA) will promote and support research to improve our knowledge of donor breastmilk and human milk banking.

Description

A human milk bank collects, screens, stores, processes and distributes donor breastmilk. Donor breastmilk is breastmilk that has been expressed by a mother and provided freely to a human milk bank to be fed to another mother’s child.

The European Milk Bank Association (EMBA) was officially launched on Friday 15th October 2010. The Association has its seat in Milan, Italy and welcomes membership from milk banks, milk bank associations and individuals who support the aims of the Association. The European Milk Bank Association is a non profit organization which has been established to promote milk banking in Europe and to encourage international co-operation between the human milk banks of the countries of Europe.
