This qualitative study explores implementation challenges and opportunities for preconception iron and folic acid supplementation in Ethiopia’s health system.
It highlights key system, service delivery, and contextual factors that influence effective prevention of neural tube defects and iron deficiency anaemia.
We hope the findings contribute to strengthening maternal and preconception nutrition policies and implementation strategies in low-resource settings.
