Free webinar: Strengthening Maternal Health Through Nutrition

A virtual event will bring together nutrition and women’s health experts to jointly explore what’s needed to support maternal health and wellbeing with a particular focus on the importance of good nutrition.

The discussion will also highlight the lack of societal awareness when it comes to the link between maternal health and nutrition, the key health challenges and conditions that can be overcome through appropriate nutrition and how we can collaborate to improve maternal health outcomes.

The event is hosted by WHS in partnership with Nestlé.

Speaking at the event will be:

Millions of women and adolescent girls across the globe struggle to access nutritious diets and essential nutrition services, which serves to intensify gender inequalities.

Good nutrition is vital for women’s health before, during pregnancy and after pregnancy and for breastfeeding, and to raise well-nourished children.

Without proper nutrition, women and adolescent girls risk compromising their ability to fight infections.

Globally, more than one billion adolescent girls and women suffer from undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and anemia.  

Progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals is limited and the prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiencies persists.

Throughout a woman’s life, physical and psychological changes impact their nutritional needs requiring gender-specific research and establishing policies for nutrition and optimal health outcomes for women.
