The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to identify the activities of Human Milk Banks that demonstrate their role in promoting maternal and child health. The research was carried out in the PubMed research portals and in the Virtual Health Library, being the searches realized also by the portal of the Brazilian Network of Banks of Human Milk. After the searches with the descriptors, eleven articles were included. The themes addressed were the profile of human milk donors; the importance of the information receivedprofessionals of the Human Milk Bank for the maintenance of breastfeeding during the hospitalization of preterm infants; weight gain in preterm infants who received human milk; the support to breastfeeding through the actions of the Human Milk Banks and factors that led to the donation of human milk.
