Resumen

The most recent National Micronutrient Survey (NMS), conducted in 2011-12, reported that the vast majority of young children and women in the country are still suffering from various micronutrient deficiencies. Thus, the Institute of Public Health Nutrition (IPHN), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) and other stakeholders in this field, strongly felt the need to review current strategies and interventions in place. Following extensive consultation with various stakeholders, including relevant ministries, the National Strategy on Prevention and Control of Micronutrient Deficiencies (NSPCMD) was developed. This NSPCMD provides a comprehensive and coordinated intervention plan to prevent and control micronutrient deficiencies in the country. The purpose of the NSPCMD is to provide guidance on interventions and actions for a coordinated and comprehensive approach to prevent and control micronutrient deficiencies among the Bangladeshi population, with an emphasis on vulnerable population groups, including children under five years of age, school-age children, adolescent girls, and pregnant and lactating women.
