Antenatal Care Attendance and Multiple Micronutrient Supplementation Intake: Perspectives from Women and Antenatal Care Service Providers in Rwanda

Emerging evidence suggests that multiple micronutrient supplements provide additional benefits for maternal and neonatal health compared with iron and folic acid supplements. To achieve effective coverage, acceptability, adherence and to inform a nationwide rollout of MMS, it is essential to understand the context-specific factors that shape implementation. This study evaluated the pilot implementation of MMS in Rwanda to identify key enablers, areas for improvement, and challenges related to antenatal care attendance and MMS use.
