Severe Acute Malnutrition Treatment

Image
In India, Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is amongst the top causes of deaths for children under five years of age. The current official treatment protocol for SAM in our country is facility-based approach or F-SAM, which in a lay men’s term is where SAM children with medical complications are treated at a facility. The number of SAM children with medical complications are close to 10-15% of the total SAM children, the question here is, how the rest of the 85-90% of SAM children without medical complication are treated? The answer is they are left at the community level, to be taken care by angawadi’s and at home. Why is that a problem you ask? These 85-90% of children are 9 times more likely to die as compared to a healthy child. It is very important to provide treatment for uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition at the community level as well.

How therapeutic food can be the game-changer in malnutrition treatment in the Indian scene?

Image
  That India’s healthcare system is in dire need of a vital upgrade is a no-brainer. For years, the institutions and stakeholders have toiled hard to formulate the magic formula which could redress the never-ending problem of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) prevalent among Indian children. Though the existing healthcare interventions have been in place and working in tandem with multiple stakeholders, the jury is still out on their effectiveness to deal with SAM . The issue of micronutrient deficiency has been prevalent and known, but not satisfactorily tended to by the institutional healthcare system. One of the crucial reasons for widespread U-5 malnutrition is attributed to inequitable access to balanced nutrition sources. These then make the group vulnerable to different infections and diseases, thus trapping them in a vicious cycle of malnutrition and ailments[3].    Extraordinary scenarios like these - 1 in every child in India is afflicted with severe wasting ...

The case for community-led action to fight malnutrition in rural India

Image
India is host to more than 30% of child wasting globally, which is one of the main reasons for its deplorable child mortality rates also. What is even more surprising is the absolute stubbornness that this menace has shown over the last decade, despite huge amounts invested in building public infrastructure and trained human resources. The fact that about 20% of all Indian children are wasted is a harsh testimony that the present approach to handle this grave crisis needs to be relooked into and appropriately remodelled. This is essential to build a future Indian populace which is healthier, largely immune to diseases and happier. Given the humongous population still under its sway, Severe Acute Malnutrition ( SAM ) needs focussed attention and innovative approaches to handle the situation better.
