Design and Development of a Web-Based Neonatal Milk Management System

This paper has presented the design of a web-based Neonatal Milk Management System for organizing information about donors, newborn recipients and hospitals. The proposed functions bring registration, record review, request tracking, token creation, status updates, activity history and an administrator dashboard into one platform. Such an arrangement is intended to make administrative information easier to maintain and retrieve. Before use in a healthcare setting, the system will require further development, security assessment and user testing, as well as alignment with the approved procedures and applicable requirements governing human milk banks.
