Today, government leaders & partners launched the national rollout of double-fortified salt with iodine and folic acid (DFS-IoFA) to prevent neural tube defects. Ethiopia has Africa's highest NTD burden — 80 cases per 10,000 births. DFS-IoFA offers a game-changing solution, building on the country's successful salt iodization program that reaches 90%+ of households. Clinical trials confirm it rapidly raises folate levels, helping to prevent NTDs, stillbirths & low birthweight — for just $0.01 per capita per year. Proud to partner with @FMoHealth, @EPHIEthiopia, @GatesAfrica, @ethio_Industry and @EthiopiaMinist1 to give every child the healthiest start in life.

The correct number of children that die from preventable causes should be zero. (Last year it was 5 million) Great to talk w SoS @randeepssarai and @JWEL_Canada CEO Mike Pilato about 🇨🇦's leadership in Vitamin A, and the urgency of greater action to protect children everywhere.

Earlier this week, we welcomed The Honourable @randeepssarai, Secretary of State (International Development), to NutriCorp’s, a division of @JWEL_Canada, Windsor facility. 🇨🇦 With Canada’s support, Nutrition International supplies ~80% of the world’s vitamin A capsules — protecting millions of children from preventable illness and death each year. #GlobalHealth #VitaminA

For children to learn, we must address malnutrition before they go to school. #G7 "The first 1,000 days of a child's life, often called the "golden period", are pivotal: by age two, 80% of the brain develops, laying the foundation for lifelong potential." bbc.com/news/articles/…
