About Folic Acid

Folic acid, also known as folate or Vitamin B9, is one of the most critically important supplements in Nigeria, particularly for women of childbearing age and pregnant women. It is virtually impossible to attend an antenatal clinic anywhere in Nigeria — from the teaching hospitals in Lagos, Ibadan, and Enugu to primary health centres in rural communities across the country — without being prescribed folic acid. This small, affordable tablet plays a monumental role in preventing devastating birth defects of the brain and spine known as neural tube defects, including spina bifida and anencephaly. Nigeria, with one of the highest birth rates in the world, has made folic acid supplementation a cornerstone of maternal healthcare, and it is included in the standard antenatal drug regimen recommended by the Federal Ministry of Health.
