Background Donor human milk is the recommended alternative for feeding preterm infants if mother's own milk is unavailable. Human milk banks collect, screen, store and distribute donated human milk according to pre-specified standard operating procedures to premature infants without mothers own milk.Aim Herein we characterize current operating models and the structural organisation of German milk bank institutions. The analysis of current and future opportunities and challenges may support the development of a comprehensive donor milk service within Germany.Material and methods Summary of the panel discussion entitled "Operating models and organizational structures: opportunities and risks for donor human milk bank in Germany" during the 3rd Scientific Symposium of the German Human Milk Bank Initiative (FMBI), November 25th to 26th 2022, in Nuremberg, Germany.Results and discussion Differing operator models may facilitate the use of donor human milk by incorporating unique site-specific factors, pre-existing infrastructure, and individual needs. In addition to the establishment of milk banks serving single neonatal units, high-capacity milk banks should be enabled to provide donor human milk using several hub-and-spoke systems. This may create a nationwide network for a sustainable human milk supply for preterm infants that is based on qualified breastfeeding and lactation support.
