DIFFUN, Quirino, April 12 (PIA) -- The National Nutrition Council (NNC) advised the Municipal Nutrition Committee (MNC) here to conduct a case study of each malnourished children in the municipality to be able to identify what intervention is suited to each of them. | |||
In the Monitoring and Evaluation of Local level Plan Implementation for nutrition regional assessment here yesterday, Rhodora Maestre, NNC 2 head, said there is a need to study each malnourished child’s condition, history of present illnesses (if any), past medical and immunization histories, among other information, to be able to address the real cause of malnutrition. | |||
Maestre likewise urged the MNC to consider the "adopt a malnourished child" program, wherein each member of the MNC shall provide the foods needed by a malnourished child to ensure his or her recovery from malnutrition problems. | |||
“This is very effective in Batanes so I think it will work in this place also,” Maestre added. | |||
Based on the MNC report presented by Tina Ramillosa, municipal nutrition officer, they were able to rehabilitate the five identified severely underweight children last 2011, but there were again newly identified underweight children at Barangays Ifugao Village, Isidro Paredes, Ricarte Norte, Bannawag, Liwayway, and Ricarte Sur. | |||
The MNC members, headed by Mayor Marlo S. Guillermo, assured that they will consider the NNC’s recommendations, saying that they have already started conducting a case study and different interventions will be provided based on the needs of the identified malnourished children. | |||
