Ensuring comprehensive health coverage for women during the #First1000Days is crucial. Without proper care before, during, and after pregnancy, both the mother's and baby's health are jeopardized.

Millions of children are at risk of dying from severe wasting, and RUTF is one of the most effective, life‑saving treatments we have. This energy‑dense therapeutic food helps children recover quickly, yet millions of those who need RUTF don’t receive it.

No child should die because they can’t access a proven treatment. 👉 Expanding RUTF coverage means more children survive, recover, and thrive. #March4Nutrition

Today marks the anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)'s passage. While the FMLA extended a life raft to families by creating a federal right to job-protected leave from work, we still need to build on this progress with comprehensive PAID leave for all workers.
