Abstract
(Проаналізовано діяльність організацій «Крапля молока» в Наддніпрянщині, що були важливим кроком у боротьбі з високою дитячою смертністю. Створені за ініціативою лікарів-педіатрів і за підтримки громадськості, вони вирішували проблему постачання якісного молока для немовлят у великих містах – Києві, Харкові, Одесі. Одночасно надання безкоштовних медичних консультацій та регулярні обстеження малюків сприяли становленню системи захисту материнства й дитинства.)
