time but public health is vital to all of us all of the time."

Every child should be given the opportunity for a healthy start in
life. Getting a healthy start in life means several things. It begins even before a child
is conceived. It relates to women placing emphasis on their intake of folic acid even
before they get pregnant to reduce the incidence of neural tube birth defects."
