2 billion people are micronutrient deficient globally and nearly half of them are Indians. Micronutrient malnutrition is India's silent epidemic. This #PoshanMaah2020 let’s call on leaders to scale proven solutions #FortifyingIndia

The challenge of malnutrition includes numerous intangible factors like antenatal care, hygiene & sanitation, immunization, education, gender empowerment etc. It is through sustained awareness and efforts that change will be visible. #PoshanMaah #JusticeOnOurPlates

As the world focuses on managing #COVID19 pandemic, #pneumonia continues to be one of the leading causes of under-5 deaths, both globally and in India. But it CAN be prevented! Breastfeeding, #vaccination, reducing indoor air pollution, and getting timely treatment can help.

In the 1980s, the world proved that profound change is possible. In the last decade, progress stalled. Now, COVID-19 is disrupting children's immunizations and threatening to reverse historic gains. So what happens next? It all depends on our action today. #VaccinesWork
