GAPSBiF seeks to promote food fortification with folic acid fortification to reduce preventable neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida

25/04/2025

In 2023, the World Health Assembly passed WHA 76.19, “Accelerating efforts for preventing micronutrient deficiencies and their consequences including spina bifida and other neural tube defects, through safe and effective food fortification.” WHA 78 marks one year before the first implementation report is due.

Please join us at the WHA78 side event “Accelerating Action on Micronutrient Deficiencies and Their Consequences, including Spina Bifida: Delivering on WHA 76.19 through Large-Scale Food Fortification” on May 20th from 6-8:30pp at ILO/UNICEF building, Geneva, Switzerland.

Ongoing efforts in Pakistan and Bangladesh to fortify flour with folic acid are making significant strides in improving nutrition and preventing neural tube defects. These initiatives are supported by extensive research, policy advocacy, and collaboration between governments, flour mills, and health organizations.

Through awareness campaigns and strategic partnerships, fortification is becoming a powerful tool in tackling malnutrition at a low cost, ensuring that vital nutrients reach those who need them most. As we continue these efforts, the importance of both fortification and consumer education cannot be overstated.
