Participants drawn from various spheres of healthcare delivery engaged in structured training sessions aimed at improving their knowledge and practical application of multiple micronutrient supplements in clinical settings. The sessions featured expert facilitators who led discussions on key topics, including the role of micronutrients in maternal nutrition, appropriate use of MMS, and best practices for integration into routine healthcare services.
