Enhancing Nutrition Integration into Universal Health Coverage (UHC)
Description
By 2030, the Government of Yemen commits to integrating nutrition services into the national framework for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) to ensure equitable access to essential nutrition interventions, through increasing early detection and treatment of malnutrition, aiming to expanding treatment coverage for wasting (severe and moderate acute malnutrition), increasing the proportion of affected children receiving treatment from 70% to 90%, strengthening healthcare system capacity to deliver integrated nutrition services, and conducting annual assessments to evaluate the coverage and impact of nutrition services.
