Caregivers are everyday heroes. 💚

With the right guidance, families play a vital role in a child’s recovery from acute malnutrition. Simple actions at home can make a big difference:
✔️ Regular and nutritious feeding
✔️ Attending follow-up visits
✔️ Giving love, care, and support

Your care helps children heal, grow, and thrive. You are part of the solution.

Early detection saves lives. 💚

Acute Malnutrition in children can be recognized using simple checks—like measuring the arm (MUAC), checking for swelling of the feet, and monitoring weight for height.

Watch out for warning signs such as:
⚠️ Very thin or severe weight loss
⚠️ Swelling of both feet
⚠️ Loss of appetite

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait. Visit your nearest health center for proper assessment and care.

Together, we can act early and save lives.
