Analysis of the economic benefits and feasibility of the same-city delivery model for donor human milk (SCDM-DHM)
The SCDM-DHM is an adaptation of existing international approaches to the unique infrastructure and policy environment in China. The SCDM-DHM improved breastfeeding rate in the NICU without a human milk bank and remained cost-efficient, demonstrating both feasibility and clinical effectiveness. However, more research is needed to confirm whether the SCDM-DHM can be promoted among NICUs in Shenzhen and other regions as well.
