Overview

Descriptive analysis reveals only 31.5% coverage of maternal micronutrient supplementation, highlighting systemic challenges.

Key Points

  • Coverage of maternal micronutrient supplementation was only 31.5%, indicating significant underperformance.
  • Among approximately 6,982 pregnant women, only 2,197 received MMS or Iron-Folate supplementation, far below Vitamin A at 83%.
  • A descriptive cross-sectional design assessed coverage and systemic challenges using secondary data and triangulated operational notes.
  • These findings emphasize the need for improvements in training, documentation, and service delivery to enhance maternal health outcomes.
