Synopsis
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News: Vitamin A Supplements Do Not Reduce Maternal Mortality Vitamin A supplements given to women of childbearing age do not reduce their risks of dying as a result of pregnancy or childbirth, according to a research study conducted in seven districts of Ghana over a period of 10 years with more than 200 000 women, half of whom received a low regular dose of vitamin A, the other half taking an identical-looking placebo containing no vitamin A. Professor Betty Kirkwood of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine talks about her research findings with Peter Goodwin and explains how health system planners can now consider alternative ways of protecting mothers.
