"80% of brain development happens before age 3. It is essential to have optimal nutrition in the first 1000 days, but it is not enough alone. Nurturing care is what a child needs to reach full potential." -Lesley Oot, presenting on @NutritionForDev at #IMNHC2023 #JSIatIMNHC2023
Delighted to see our board member @MercyJuma_ moderating this plenary discussion at #IMNHC2023 and highlighting the importance of building scalable solutions to improving the lives of mothers and babies. #HealthForAll
.@MercyJuma_ asks the audience to imagine a world where no woman dies during childbirth. Today we’ll talk about new innovations, what our dream world looks like, how do we overcome challenges and use (and scale) known and coming innovations.
