#Breastfeeding is one of the most cost-effective investments a country can make in its people. Yet not breastfeeding according to recommendations is estimated to cost the global economy US$339 billion a year and is associated with an estimated 383 000 avoidable child deaths and 138 000 avoidable maternal deaths annually.

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.

With support from the @WorldBank , Nutrition International is working with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Institute of Public Health Nutrition, @GovtBangladesh to advance the national scale-up of Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation (MMS).
