Malnutrition costs the global economy $3.5 trillion every year. That is an immense loss in productivity, healthcare costs, and human capital. One of the best buys in global health is already within reach. Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) have an estimated return of $37 for every $1 spent, making them more cost-effective than iron and folic acid (IFA) and ready to be scaled. At #N4GParis, alongside our partners Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), Gates Foundation, and Kirk Humanitarian, we committed $250 million toward a $1 billion effort to scale prenatal multivitamins - Multiple Micronutrient Supplements - in countries with high rates of maternal and child malnutrition.

A proven and cost-effective solution to improve maternal and newborn health already exists: Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS). One tablet contains 15 essential vitamins and minerals, reducing the risk of babies being born underweight, premature, or stillborn. The cost is only two cents per tablet. Just $4 per pregnancy for one of the most effective interventions in global health. More than dozens of Ministries of Health are already working to transition from IFA to MMS. It’s time to accelerate this shift and ensure every pregnant woman, no matter where she lives, has access to essential nutrition -- join us via livestream today at 1:15 PM CET for our event, Empowered Women, Transformed Generations: The Global Impact of Maternal Nutrition and Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation. ??
