Strengthening maternal health through MMS in Nigeria
In collaboration with the Government of Nigeria and Bauchi State, Nutrition International is introducing multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) into antenatal care platforms through implementation research. MMS is as effective at preventing maternal anaemia as iron and folic supplementation and more effective at preventing birth defects. This work will support the successful scale-up of MMS in the country while examining long-standing barriers to improve adherence to maternal supplementation and support a positive pregnancy journey overall.
Visit a health centre in Bauchi State to see an antenatal clinic in action.
