Guido E. Moro, M.D. is President of the Italian Association of Donated Human Milk Banks (AIBLUD), which coordinates the activity of the 41 banks operating in Italy. He is also Treasurer of the European Milk Bank Association (EMBA). Dr. Moro's main field of research is infant nutrition, including the feeding of very low birth weight infants, human milk, and human milk banks. He has published more than 250 scientific papers.
To ensure safe operation of a human milk bank (HMB), a well-designed safety assurance plan should be put in place. HMBs implement procedures that allow for the management and sanitization of donor milk without significantly altering the nutritional and biologically protective components of human milk, obtaining a product characterized by a balance between safety and biological quality.
