Screening for malnutrition

This is the health post in the village of Lingui. With EU humanitarian funding, medical NGO ALIMA screens for malnutrition at village level.

 

Children found to be severely malnourished are immediately started a medical plan to recover their health, with Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food taken at home. Severe cases with medical complications are transferred to the district hospital.
