Lifeblood Milk and Queensland Milk Bank have teamed up to address the rising demand for donated breast milk.
Australian Red Cross Lifeblood chief medical officer Joanne Pink says the new facility will collect, pasteurize and distribute over 1500 litres of donated breast milk annually.
With roughly 5000 babies being born prematurely and 1000 born before 32 weeks of gestation, about 360 donors are needed to meet this demand.
