Dios Mabalos Po Foundation, field partner of Vitamin Angels Inc., has reconnected with the 15 towns and 3 cities of the province of Albay.
In 2019 and 2020 DMPF in cooperation with the LGU of Albay provided prenatal medicines all over the province. More than 10000 pregnant women were able to benefit from the 180 tablets good for 6 months they could access from the RHU and Barangay Health workers.
Vitamin Angels is spearheading a global effort to reduce newborn mortality rates by scaling up its prenatal vitamin and mineral program to meet the needs of 50 million women annually by the year 2030. With an estimated 7,000 newborns dying daily per data released by UNICEF, Vitamin Angels is rallying support to address the pressing need. To further accelerate impact and create lasting change, Vitamin Angels focuses on creating demand for MMS, ensuring a global supply of MMS, influencing policy change regarding MMS in low and middle-income countries, and connecting at-risk pregnant women with MMS.
Providing supplemental nutrition in the form of a daily multiple micronutrient supplement (MMS), is an excellent way to meet the increased nutrient demands during pregnancy. Prenatal MMS helps support healthy pregnancies, prevent anemia, promote fetal growth, and ensure that babies are born at a healthy birth weight. The MMS provided by Vitamin Angels is consistent with the United Nations International Multiple Micronutrient Antenatal Preparation (UNIMMAP) formula, manufactured to international quality standards.
