CAR: Improving healthcare with Save the Children
In all health facilities, children under five years old are systematically screened for acute malnutrition. Severe cases are admitted immediately for treatment. All caregivers receive counselling on the specific nutritional needs of infants and young children. Humanitarian agencies believe that in 2015 over 32 000 children in CAR will suffer from severe acute malnutrition, and 78 000 children from moderate acute malnutrition.
