@Nutritionintl and @nhsrcofficial hosted a national dissemination event for the Weekly Iron Folic Acid Supplementation (WIFAS) pilot project, implemented in 50 public sector schools of district Lodhran, Punjab, aimed at anaemia reduction among school-based adolescent girls

[Nutrition International @NutritionIntl]

@nhsrcofficial Building on the successful pilot, @NutritionIntl has expanded the program to two new districts – Swabi in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Pishin in Balochistan to reach at least 60,000 adolescent girls with #WIFAS and appropriate education about anaemia.

[Nutrition International @NutritionIntl]

@nhsrcofficial The pilot project benefited over 5000 adolescent girls with #WIFAS and improved knowledge and practices of adolescent girls and their immediate influencers concerning iron deficiency anaemia through capacity building of the education and health staff in the targeted district.
