Poor Maternal and Infant Deaths - During the screening of Rehab for Malnutrition


Poor maternal nutrition causes mal-nutrition, as a result, many early infants die each year, and there has been little progress in reducing low birth weight.
A key action to reduce preventable infant deaths is to improve nutrition ser-vices for women of reproductive age before and during pregnancy to en-sure women’s diets include a diverse range of foods to support the growth of infants. A woman’s diet during preg-nancy can have a significant impact on the first 1,000 days of a child’s life.
