Instructions for expressing milk using a machine to help female workers of Nichirin Vietnam Co., Ltd. raise healthy children

According to the report of the Trade Union of Industrial Parks in Bac Giang province, there are currently 30 milking and storage rooms operating effectively in the area, bringing benefits to female workers raising young children. Mr. Ngo Duc Thang, Chairman of the Trade Union of Industrial Parks in the province, said that at the units, the trade union coordinated with enterprises to equip sterilizers, manual milking machines, air conditioners, and refrigerators to preserve breast milk.
