The country director of Nutrition International Nigeria, Dr Osita Okonkwo, has said that antenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation has proven to be more effective and efficient than iron and folic acid supplementation in improving birth outcomes.

He said it has also shown similar benefits in preventing maternal anaemia and is safe for mothers and babies.

Dr Okonkwo stated this yesterday in an introductory remark at the launch of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations (BMGF)-funded multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) implementation research project in Bauchi.

He added that Nutrition International is already implementing micronutrient supplementation including iron and folic acid in various countries around the world and is currently exploring this transition from IFAS to MMS in Pakistan and Nigeria.

“Through this project, we are not just conducting research, we are developing and testing strategies based on human-centered design. We are tailoring our efforts to fit the needs and experiences of pregnant women in the local communities.

“Our goal is to make the shift to multiple micronutrient supplementation as smooth as possible and optimise the uptake and adherence of this supplementation among pregnant women in the country.

“If we are going to achieve the Bauchi State Health Sector goal of a healthy and productive state by 2030, we need to work together. As an organisation, we at Nutrition International are not just here as outsiders bringing solutions; we are here as partners and allies.

“We are here to work with you and listen to you. We are here so we can engage and make a meaningful difference in addressing malnutrition in Nigeria,” he said.
