Description
The Government of Sierra Leone will scale up coverage of targeted micronutrient supplements for pregnant women and children under five by increasing integration of these services within the Extended Programme on Immunization (EPI) and broader maternal-child health services and community initiatives. By 2030, Government will ensure at least 75% of pregnant women receive Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) and 90% of children between 6 and 59 months receive Vitamin A Supplements (VAS).
