The World Vision Zambia Health programme focuses on Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAHN). The aim of the programme is to improve the health status of pregnant women, lactating mothers and children under the age of five. Our strategic objective for health is to contribute to the reduction of maternal and child mortality through improved health and nutrition practices. The heart of World Vision’s Global Health and Nutrition Strategy is a package of preventative interventions for mothers and children under two, targeting the first 1,000-days.
