Advocating for Prevention Through Nutrition

by PreventionUncategorized

The Alliance for Birth Defects (ABD) was proud to organize and host the Parent Forum on Large-Scale Food Fortification Advocacy, in collaboration with GAIN (Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition).

This important forum brought together families affected by Spina Bifida, health professionals, and partners to amplify the call for mandatory folic acid food fortification—a proven strategy to prevent birth defects and improve public health.

Thank you to all who joined us and continue to champion this critical cause.

by with No Comment TreatmentUncategorized

Excited to share that Alliance for Birth Defects is collaborating with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) to advocate for and support Large-Scale Food Fortification (LSFF) as a proven strategy to prevent devastating birth defects such as Neural Tube Defects (NTDs).

Through this partnership, we aim to bring global evidence and momentum to national efforts—ensuring that every child has the healthiest possible start to life.

This collaboration holds deep meaning for us. It’s another important step toward addressing preventable conditions through smart, scalable, and sustainable solutions.

Let’s keep pushing forward—because no child should suffer from a condition we know how to prevent.
