Programme Title
Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre in the Bhagalpur
Description
Although High Infant Mortality has been a huge challenge for the country over the decades since independence, the scenario has slowly improved over the past few years. This is the result of years of targeted interventions focused on the root causes of child, infant, and neonatal mortality. These interventions usually target vulnerable communities, providing them access to preventative care, curative care, reproductive and family planning services, and proven nutrition interventions to combat the widespread malnutrition. The Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre in the Bhagalpur district of Bihar is one such initiative that aims to combat Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in children from 0-59 months of age. The program asks for mothers and their children that are affected by SAM to come to the centre for a 3-week period of intensive care. During that time, the NRC provides adequate feeding and medical care to children and infants, training for mothers to learn how to prepare nutrient rich food on a limited budget utilizing locally sourced ingredients along with additional training for mothers on the topics of both nutrition and hygiene so that they can continue to give their children proper care after leaving the centre to successfully combat the after effects of SAM. A small stipend for mothers to offset loss of wages while at the center is also given out; building a foolproof outreach system that fights the ailment of malnutrition at a grass root level.
