Screening for malnutrition
Nurse Mariama measures little Abdou while her mother Massaouda holds him. This is part of the process to check if children are malnourished, at the Health post of Lingui village, in the Mirriah district of Niger.
Here, EU humanitarian aid provides funds to Medical NGO ALIMA to ensure the prevention and treatment of severe acute malnutrition, the most life-threatening form of malnutrition. Severe cases with medical complications are transferred to the district hospital.
