South Africa establishes first breast milk bank since AIDS crisis hit
Breast milk banks were commonplace in South Africa before the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s. They were swiftly shut down amid fears of transmitting the infection. Global Health TV meets Anna Coutsoudis, who has worked to re-establish safe, reliable breast milk banks in the country. She tells us why breast milk can make all the difference to a sick baby.
