When a woman is well-nourished in her pregnancy, she's more likely to have a healthy birth and a healthy baby. That's why Vitamin Angels supports governments and partners around the world in helping to increase women's access to multiple micronutrient supplements (#MMS), which can significantly improve #nutrition in pregnancy and result in positive birth outcomes. #Bhutan recently rolled out a new MMS program to benefit pregnant and breastfeeding women across the country. Last week, Dr. Ashutosh Mishra, Vitamin Angels' Senior Technical Director for Asia, and Director of Programs, India, and Aishwarya Panicker, Vitamin Angels' Technical Specialist, Asia, met with Bhutan Ministry of Health officials, health workers in hospitals, and university partners to discuss the MMS program, what's next, and how we can collaborate. In the next phase of the program rollout, Vitamin Angels will provide MMS supplies in Bhutan and offer technical assistance for research to support the addition of MMS to the National Essential Medicine List as part of our partnership.

We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Vitamin Angels India and The Akshaya Patra Foundation to address the pressing challenges of hunger and hidden hunger across #India. By combining Akshaya Patra’s expertise in delivering nutrient-rich meals with Vitamin Angels’ focus on micronutrient supplementation and health education, this initiative aims to improve the #health of some of India’s most vulnerable populations: pregnant women, lactating mothers, adolescent girls, and under-5 children. The collaboration will focus on: ✅ Providing Vitamin A supplements & deworming treatments for children under 5 ✅ Increasing iron-folic acid (IFA) & calcium intake for pregnant women ✅ Health and nutrition counseling for women and children ✅ Building capacities of Anganwadi workers to expand their reach The partnership reinforces our shared commitment of not only fighting hunger but addressing micronutrient deficiencies that hinder long-term health and development. Together, we aim to impact maternal and child health, ensuring a brighter, healthier future for communities across the country. . . . . #partnership #CSR #leadership #socialimpact #LeadersOfChange #impact #Poshan #PoshanAbhiyaan #children #ChildHealth #NutritionForAll #HealthForAll #NutritionForAll #MaternalAndChildHealth
