On September 19, Ajinomoto Vietnam Company in collaboration with the Department of Health of Bac Lieu Province and the Center for Disease Control of Bac Lieu Province organized a conference to deploy balanced nutrition menu software for mothers and children in the locality. This is an effort to realize the goal of developing stature, strengthening physical strength and improving intelligence of Vietnamese children within the framework of the Maternal and Child Nutrition Program.
Currently, there are many cases of nutritional problems during pregnancy, because eating habits do not focus on balancing the nutrients that need to be supplemented into the body, leading to a lack of necessary nutrients and an excess of unnecessary substances. In order to overcome this situation, Ajinomoto Vietnam has researched, consulted experts and collected user opinions to complete the Nutrition Care Software for mothers and children. The software is the optimal nutritional balance method, supporting the creation of delicious and nutritious menus.
With a menu bank of more than 2,000 dishes and features that allow users to create meals that suit their needs, preferences, economic conditions, and health status, mothers will no longer have a headache when preparing dishes for themselves and their children. At the same time, the recipes are also set up in a variety of ways, meeting the typical tastes of many regions while still ensuring nutrition.
In addition, mothers can also use the health monitoring feature with the available tools in the software. By recording the body mass index (BMI), pregnant women can easily assess their weight gain during pregnancy. The weight and height growth compared to age (Z-score) of infants up to 60 months old are also saved by this application to support mothers to conveniently check regularly.
Pregnant mothers or mothers with young children can also access a store of useful information built and compiled by a team of experienced nutritionists in the Mother's Handbook section. This is a source of information that has been verified, guaranteed to be scientific and suitable for the physical and mental characteristics of mothers and babies.
Not only useful for mothers, the Nutritional Balance Software is also an effective solution to support the nutritional care of many medical staff. Doctor Le Thi Trang, Deputy Head of Nutrition Department, Bac Lieu Province Disease Control Center: "This is a very practical and useful software, contributing to the quality of life and health of mothers and children in Bac Lieu province. The software is a tool to help medical staff in taking care of the health of mothers and children. Mothers and children can refer to dishes with a rich menu bank of more than 2000".
The process of expanding the application of this Software has received positive responses in many localities across the country. More than 17 thousand medical staff and more than 1 million mothers nationwide have accessed and used it, which are impressive achievements that the Nutrition Care Software has achieved during its journey with many mothers and children over the past time.
With the mission of “Contributing to bringing health and happiness to the people and society of Vietnam through providing quality products and valuable initiatives”, Ajinomoto will continue to spread this nutritional care solution to all parts of the country, for a healthier and more resilient future generation.
