Abstract

Human milk is an important source of food for a new born baby to grow up in a healthy manner. World Health Organisation points to the importance of feeding on human milk and ranks it as the first source of nutrition.     This paper aims to analyse the views of Turkish and Saudi Arabian citizens’ views on human milk banking comparatively. The research sample was composed of 184 individuals who lived in Turkey and 385 individuals who lived in Riyadh- the capital of Saudi Arabia. The participants were given the survey form on human milk banking. Mann Whitney U test was used in comparing the differences of independent groups for two-class data whereas Kruskal Wallis H test was used for multi-class data and Hochberg GT2 test was used in finding which groups had the source of difference. It was concluded that there were no differences between Turks’ and Arabs’ views on human milk banking and that they both had negative attitudes towards milk brotherhood.
