Join our collective action for maternal nutrition
Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies (HMHB) provides an inclusive, collaborative and comprehensive platform for multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) advocates to shape and drive a shared agenda for MMS implementation, adoption, and adherence.
We are stronger and smarter together. Collective action will not replace an organization’s or individual’s effort or agenda but will leverage and optimize goals and actions of each member and stakeholder. We invite organizations and individuals active in maternal nutrition and MMS to JOIN the Consortium as a member.
Organizations that are not able to join as members are given the option to join as observers. As such they can participate in Consortium meetings. Only members will have the possibility to review key documents and nominate new Steering Committee members.
Why join?
Help shape and drive the MMS agenda and find support for your work.
- Connect with a community of global, regional, and national MMS advocates and stakeholders.

- Benefit from real-time insights, data, and dialogue.
- Strengthen your network and skills for MMS action.
