Abstract

BACKGROUND: Around 2.6 billion people lack proper sanitation. In addition, nutritional problems such as multiple micronutrient (MMN) deficiency can increase morbidity, mortality, and impaired neurocognitive growth at later stages of life. In addition to the need for a sanitary approach, a globally applicable strategy to prevent micronutrient deficiencies in pregnant women, UNICEF recommends the use of MMN for prenatal supplementation as an initial program in developing countries, to reduce the risk of poor birth outcomes.

AIM: The aim of this literature study was to analyze the relationship between sanitation and the multimicronutrient (MMN) approach in pregnancy and birth outcomes.

METHODS: This research was conducted using literature review method. Various references were collected from online database including reports, journals, and books. The journals were mostly from the scholarly journals. The articles were screened according to the research objectives. The keywords used are sanitation, pregnancy, and multiple micronutrient approach.

RESULTS: Several studies have shown that sanitation and the multi micronutrient (MMN) approach play a role in determining pregnancy outcomes. We conclude that the importance of sanitation on pregnancy outcome is to reduce the chance of infection. The importance of MMN in pregnancy outcomes is that mothers who consume MMN during pregnancy can reduce the risk of poor birth output. The role of stakeholders is needed in the future.

CONCLUSIONS: Several studies have shown that sanitation and multi micronutrient (MMN) play a role in determining pregnancy outcome.
