The Promise of Non-peanut Recipes

Image
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) is getting increasingly accepted as a cost-effective panacea to deal with the global menace of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), which impacts around 20 million children under age five worldwide. RUTF is now being considered as an alternative course of treatment for SAM-afflicted children who do not need major medical interventions. Local RUTF formulations (prepared from locally available produce) and their benefits have resultantly occupied mainstream discussions on their extent of positive impact on children’s overall growth and development. This has prompted all major stakeholders, including governments the world over, to come together and organise an accessible model of providing peanut and non-peanut based RUTF to rehabilitate severely malnourished children. Why non-peanut based RUTF Though peanut-based RUTF recipes have occupied much of mainstream scrutiny and discussion, non-peanut recipes have started gaining traction, given t...

MALNUTRITION PROBLEM AND NEED FOR HOLISTIC SOLUTION

Image
Recognizing the magnitude of the malnutrition problem, and the kind of multi-level interventions required to provide a sustainable and holistic solution, Government of India tagged September 2019 as “PoshanMaah”, which translates to “Nutrition Month”.

There are specific targets for the reduction of low birth weight babies, stunted growth, incidences of Severe Acute Malnourishment (SAM) and anaemia. Information and Communication campaigns aimed at nutrition awareness at grassroots level forms an integral part of the programme, conducted with inclusive participation of stakeholders at various levels.  The magnanimity of the mal...

Case of CMAM

Image
Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition ( CMAM ) approach is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating Moderate Acute Malnutrition ( MAM ) and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in children under 5 years. Found potent across different socio-economic and geographical settings, CMAM helps volunteers in identifying the target population and initiating treatment for children with acute malnutrition before they fall seriously ill and require medical attention. This approach assumes importance in the backdrop of a facility-based model having limited scope in terms of coverage and impact. CMAM comes in handy especially if there are aggravating factors present in the community such as epidemics, high death rate, food insecurity and a general lack of health infrastructure. Multiple pieces of evidence suggest that children with uncomplicated SAM can be treated effectively in their community setup without being admitted to a health facility. Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods ...
