Reducing Malnutrition for the Most Vulnerable Populations in the World

Description

Imagine a world where malnutrition does not impact 1 out of 3 people? What would that look like? Abbott is committed to reducing malnutrition globally with the creation of the Abbott Center for Malnutrition Solutions, an innovation hub focused on reducing malnutrition around the world.

The center, a collaboration between Abbott and external nutrition experts and partners, will focus on the identification, treatment, and prevention of malnutrition for the most vulnerable populations in the world, including mothers, infants and young children; aging adults; and people without access to good nutrition.

Providing New Parents with Nutrition Resources: A Partnership with Feeding America

Description

As the impact of COVID-19 continues to affect families and communities, Abbott is focused on supporting those in need.

New consumer behaviors that have developed during this pandemic, like stockpiling goods, have presented challenges for people across the country to get the important products they need when they need them, including infant formula.

To help families with the greatest need have access to formula, Abbott is donating  Similac® infant formula—a total of  1.5 million  feedings— to seven Feeding America food banks across the nation experiencing the greatest need. Through this donation and our broader work to provide access to our products, Abbott is delivering on its promise to help parents nourish their babies.

Supporting High-Quality Milk Production in India

Description

Whether it's milk, yogurt or cheese — people all over the world consume and enjoy dairy-based foods. However, while these products have great potential as sources of calcium, protein and vitamin D, their nutritional value is not necessarily guaranteed without good farming practices.

When Abbott was faced with the growing demand for nutrition products in India, it needed to ensure a dependable supply of high-quality milk. But many dairy farmers in India lacked the technical knowledge and resources to produce high-quality dairy.

Abbott partnered with Prabhat, an Indian dairy company, and TechnoServe, an international nonprofit that supports farms and businesses in the developing world. Together, they created a program to transform farmers' lives by providing them with the knowledge, resources and infrastructure needed to produce high-quality milk and run their businesses, while at the same delivering the milk needed for Abbott's nutrition facility locally.
