A daily dose of Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) during pregnancy helps give mothers and babies the essential nutrients they need to thrive. Antenatal MMS can help prevent anaemia in pregnant women and improve birth outcomes by reducing the risk of low birth weight, stunting and wasting in children.

A recent multi-stakeholder consultation marked an important milestone toward finalizing Bangladesh’s roadmap for (MMS) rollout, helping strengthen efforts to improve maternal nutrition and birth outcomes nationwide.
