  • Bal Sanjeevani About
    about A comprehensive report on community based management of children with severe acute malnutrition (CMAM). Findings from a systems-based implementation in Nandurbar, Maharashtra. Bal Sanjeevani Bal Sanjeevani background Globally, severely wasted children are, on average, 11 times more likely to die than their healthy counterparts. Moreover, the purpose and concern is not only to reduce mortality but children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) are at exceptionally high risk of poor growth outcomes and are also thought to be at high risk for motor and cognitive delays, as brain development is further inhibited with increasing severity of malnutrition. Severe wasting in children aged 6-59 months is defined as a mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC) < 115 mm or a weight-for-height z-score (WHZ) < -3 of the median weight-for-height in the Child Growth Standards of the WHO. # 12 Lakh Bal Sanjeevani # In lakhs children under 5 , NFHS 4 SAM Bal Sanjeevani The first priority of any program aiming to address malnutrition should focus on intensive community interventions to prevent malnutrition from setting in. however, when the prevention fails and the child develops sever acute malnutrition, the first priority should be to have a community based intervention in place so that the child continues to receive comprehensive nutrition intervention closer to the household. According to WHO, the early detection and treatment of severe wasting is a proven, evidence- based intervention for child survival and nutrition. In past, in absence of the community based program, treatment and management of severe acute malnutrition has been restricted to the facility-based approaches, greatly limiting its coverage and impact.
