Improving treatment coverage for acute malnutrition

The Ministry of Public Health, Population and Social Affairs, with the support of the ministries involved, technical and financial partners and civil society, is committed to increasing the coverage of the severe and moderate acute malnutrition treatment programme from 50% in 2024 to 75% in 2030. This objective will be achieved by including inputs for the treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition on the national list of essential medicines and on the list of nutritional supplements, respectively, by increasing the availability of essential inputs for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition and supplementation for moderate acute malnutrition, by supporting scientific research into efficient alternative inputs, and developing local production of these inputs.
