Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, announces today that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Health Care of the Republic of Tatarstan with the aim of modernizing the Republic`s public health sector through fortified nutrition. The MOU was signed today in Amsterdam (Netherlands) in the presence of President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation and Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands.

Under the terms of the MOU, DSM and the Ministry of Health Care of the Republic of Tatarstan will implement a study for the provision of vitamins to patients (children and adults) admitted for treatment to in-patient hospitals to measure the effectiveness of a specially developed vitamin and mineral complex. Following a positive outcome, the objective is to start adding vitamins/minerals when providing in-patient medical care in hospitals in the Republic of Tatarstan.

The strategic partnership between DSM and the Republic of Tatarstan has been developed within the framework of cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Netherlands. The Russian Federation`s Healthy Nutrition strategy for 2020 aims at preserving and strengthening public health and preventing of nutrition related diseases. It has been concluded that based on the current demographic situation in the Russian Federation, a change in nutrition patterns is needed to increase the life expectancy of the Russian population.

Rustam Minnikhanov, President of the Republic of Tatarstan, said: "On behalf of the Republic of Tatarstan I fully support DSM in its efforts to further develop its successful cooperation that started in 2010 in Naberezhnye Chelny with the production of animal nutrition. Full and regular supply of the body with vitamins, minerals and trace elements is one of the key factors in maintaining health. This joint project of DSM, the Institute of Nutrition and the Ministry of Health will enable the introduction of preventive fortification as a standard provision of medical assistance in the hospitals of the Republic."

Feike Sijbesma, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the DSM Managing Board, said: "As the world`s largest producer of micronutrients, DSM has the expertise and resources needed to support an effective governmental food fortification program. An insufficient vitamin A intake can have a negative effect on the efficiency of hospital treatment, but also lowers patients` resistance. I am proud that we will work with the Ministry of Health Care in Tatarstan to begin to reduce vitamin deficiencies and subsequently increase life expectancy and I hope we will be able to expand this initiative to other regions of the Russian Federation."

For DSM, Russia is one of the High Growth Economies the company is focusing on in executing its strategy DSM in motion: driving focused growth. DSM`s main business areas in Russia are food and feed ingredients, pharmaceutical intermediate products, biotechnology, UHMWPE-based materials, resins and engineering plastics. Through its business activities, DSM meets the needs and trends in the Russian Federation. In 2012, DSM celebrated 20 years of presence in Russia.

In 2010 DSM started a joint venture in Tatarstan to contribute to Russia`s goal of reaching a higher self-sufficiency in animal protein production and supply by securing better animal nutrition. In 2011 DSM entered into a long-term partnership in the area of engineering plastics with JSC KuibyshevAzot in Tolyatti (Samara Region) in order to supply locally produced products to the automotive and electrical & electronics industries.

DSM and Republic of Tatarstan sign MOU for fortified nutrition

As government, medical, academic and industry representatives gather at the first regional World Health Summit in Singapore, a group of nutrition organizations including global non-government organizations and Royal DSM called for urgent action to ensure adequate nutrition for children in their first 1,000 days of life.

A third of all children in Asia are stunted, or too short for their age - a key indicator of chronic malnutrition. Malnutrition during a child`s critical early years damages their intellectual and physical development, limiting their future economic participation, and increases their vulnerability to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in adulthood. The World Bank estimates that India, where 48% of children are stunted and over 30% of children are born with a low birth weight, loses approximately 3% of annual GDP due to malnutrition.

The nutrition group, which includes World Vision, Save the Children, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), the Essential Micronutrients Foundation and industry partner Royal DSM, called on Summit delegates to commit to nutrition support as a key input to sustainable health and economic development outcomes. It called on governments to promote adequate health and nutrition for women of reproductive age, particularly pregnant and lactating women, to ensure their children have a head-start in good nutritional status. Through public-private partnerships, the private sector can support countries in improving diets by fortifying staples and making vitamin and mineral supplements affordable to the poor.

"The nutritional challenges faced by millions of children across Asia, coupled with increased economic inequality, can only be tackled through strong public-private partnerships. This combination of expertise and experience, with a profound sense of responsibility, are the very best tools we have for ridding the world of malnutrition," said Stephan Tanda, Managing Board Member of Royal DSM, on behalf of the group, adding that it welcomed interest and participation from key stakeholders across both sectors.

Singapore`s successes in maternal and child health can serve as a model for other countries. Since its independence, the country has achieved one of the lowest infant and under-five mortality rates in the world. With its strategic location and regional hub status in Asia, Singapore can play an important role in fostering greater public-private partnerships in the region to improve nutrition in the first 1,000 days.

Malnutrition is associated with poor feeding practices and other lack of access clean water, sanitation, healthcare, social protection and initiatives to empower women. There is compelling evidence connecting maternal nutrition to increased risks in their offspring of developing chronic disease, particularly diabetes and heart disease, later in life. Both undernutrition and overnutrition can have long term adverse effects. Of particular concern is the rapidly rising incidence of gestational diabetes and maternal obesity in Asia, which has major implications for the next generation.

"Economic growth alone will not solve the world`s nutrition problems - political leadership is absolutely necessary," asserted the group. "Governments must understand that investing in both mother and child nutrition, especially in the first 1000 days, means investing in their country`s economic future."
