Why MAAMTA Program Started?

According to National Nutritional Survey of Pakistan conducted in 2018, 40.2% children under 5-years of age are stunted in Pakistan. Allah Walay Trust first established its outreach program in 2020 at Lady Aitchison Hospital, Lahore. To test the effectiveness of the program an initial sample of patients diagnosed with Anemia in pregnancy was selected. Ensuring appropriate prenatal care resulted in delivery of 96% babies with a birth weight >2.5kg. 78% babies delivered had a birthweight >3.0kg with an average maternal Hemoglobin being 10.5-11.0g/dl post-delivery.
