Pregnant women with poor nutrition run a higher risk of experiencing difficult pregnancies and delivering unhealthy babies. Often, the absence of proper nutrition is due to economic reasons but mostly it is the result of unawareness or cultural beliefs regarding foods and eating patterns.

A fundamental aspect of our community work is to promote good nutrition to help counter ill-health while clinically managing malnutrition in pregnant and lactating women, and children under the age of 5 years. 

Through continual sensitization, BAFROW Family Clinics dispel myths surrounding certain foods which are otherwise very good for the body while equipping community women with information on how to prepare balanced diet meals using available local food items.
