Mombasa set to launch nutrition support program for expectant mothers

Following significant investments in the digitization of healthcare services across the county, Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir is set to roll out a comprehensive nutrition support initiative targeting pregnant women.

The program, which will provide nutritious meals and dietary support to expectant mothers, is aimed at improving maternal health outcomes, reducing pregnancy-related complications, and ensuring healthier pregnancies and safer deliveries. By addressing nutritional needs during pregnancy, the county seeks to enhance the well-being of both mothers and their unborn children.

The initiative will leverage the county’s newly digitized health system to identify beneficiaries, monitor maternal health indicators, and ensure efficient service delivery across health facilities.

Governor Nassir has consistently emphasized the importance of investing in preventive healthcare and social protection programs. The upcoming initiative reflects the county government’s commitment to building a healthier Mombasa by supporting vulnerable groups and ensuring that every mother has access to the care and nutrition needed for a safe and successful pregnancy.

The program is expected to complement ongoing healthcare reforms and further position Mombasa as a leader in innovative and people-centered healthcare delivery.
