Supporting Ukrainian children
Human milk banks, babies born during conflict, and mental health support for Ukrainian children in Europe: this week is all about the health of children and newborns.
From human milk banks to babies born during conflict, this week we're all about the health of children and newborns.
The most vulnerable premature babies benefit from human milk, but their mother's milk is often not available. We visit a human milk bank to explore how donors are making a difference.
Dr Ann Robinson shares some surprising new research looking at a novel way of preventing short-sightedness. And one year on from the start of the war, Smitha Mundasad talks to a Ukrainian mother who was forced to flee her country while 7 months pregnant. In conversation with Sasha Yarova from War Child, Smitha finds out about support available for the thousands of Ukrainian children now making new homes in countries around Europe.
Presenter: Smitha Mundasad
