Information on MMS available - no active implementation
A supply readiness assessment was carried out by Sight and Life in 2015.
A Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has been established, and the UNIMMAP-MMS formulation has been registered with the Ghana Food and Drugs Authority. Efforts are ongoing to advocate for its inclusion in national guidelines and the Essential Medicines List, while also addressing sustainable financing mechanisms and procurement strategies. Formative research is underway to understand the factors influencing the uptake and adherence to Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and antenatal care services, alongside healthcare workers’ attitudes and practices. A pilot program targeting 65,300 pregnant women across three regions is planned. Challenges include the lack of MMS integration into national policies, sustainable financing, and addressing higher costs compared to IFA. Lessons learned include that successful MMS implementation requires collaboration between stakeholders, community involvement, and integration into existing maternal health services.
