Campaign for rescuing malnourished children launched in capital Sanaa
The Public Health and Population Office in the capital Sanaa on Sunday launched, in cooperation with UNICEF, a national campaign for rescuing malnourished children from six-week age to 56 weeks.
The campaign, implemented in four districts of the capital, targets more than 280,000 children, and those found to be exposed to malnutrition are referred to the nearest health center to receive the necessary treatment for free, according to the office’s director Dr. Mutahar al-Marwani.
Dr. al-Marwani said the campaign is staffed by 350 teams and each team consists of two people to take to the field and arrive at each house in the targeted districts.
He noted that the campaign ends next Thursday in the targeted districts, and the rest of the districts in the capital would be targeted during the next periods.
