Join us for IGHS Grand Rounds with Center for Global Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. Speakers will review current trends in the nutritional status of women in South Asia, how gender and nutrition intersect in unique ways in the South Asian context, and recent changes in guidelines around micronutrient supplementation during pregnancy. They will also outline a shared project in Nepal which is evaluating the integration of multiple micronutrient supplementation into a norm change intervention for newly married women on anemia and micronutrient status.
