• Folic acid supplementation has been proven to be effective in the reduction of NTD.
• However, take into account that nearly 50% of pregnancies are unplanned, and about 5-20% of all pregnant women start folic acid before pregnancy.
• the recommendation for preconceptional folic acid supplementation has to achieve both health workers and childbearing women.
