Introduction of Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS) through Antenatal Care (ANC): Training for Healthcare Providers

Overview

This comprehensive training package has been developed to support the introduction of multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) for preventative antenatal care services. This package was originally developed for the Advancing Maternal Health through Implementation Research on MMS (AMMI) project in Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and has since been adapted for an implementation research project in Bauchi State, Nigeria. It was designed as the minimum amount of training that healthcare providers should receive before providing MMS. The findings from the research are guiding more comprehensive packages that are designed to drive and sustain adherence. These packages are being evaluated, and results will be available to inform sustainable, measurable, attainable, realistic and tailored (SMART) scale up planning.
