The health and well-being of mothers and children is the cornerstone of a nation’s development and prosperity. In Nigeria, where maternal and child health outcomes continue to pose significant challenges, innovative and evidence-based strategies are vital to ensuring equitable and sustainable progress. This National Training Manual on Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation for frontline healthcare presents an important milestone in our collective efforts to improve maternal nutrition and overall health outcomes across the country. This training manual has been meticulously designed to equip frontline health providers with the required knowhow and the tools needed for effective delivery of MMS interventions. It underscores the importance of integrating MMS into routine antenatal care services and provides clear, actionable guidance on counseling, distribution, monitoring, and evaluation. The manual also emphasizes culturally appropriate and community-centered approaches to ensure that MMS reaches the women and families who need it most.
