Early Childhood Development Center Malnutrition Program
Abstract
Malnutrition is one of the major public health issues of importance among developing countries. According to Faye O., et al (2012), malnutrition and childhood morbidity contribute a lot to child mortality and disability adjusted life years. The Global Nutrition Report, (2016), also cited that out of 667 million children under age five worldwide, 159 million under age five are too short for their age (stunted), 50 million do not weigh enough for their height(wasted), and 41 million are overweight. In Kenya, one-third of children under-five are stunted, one in six children is underweight or too thin for their age, more than seven million children who are under five years die each year from treatable and preventable conditions. Pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea remain the leading causes of child mortality and under nutrition contributes to more than one third of all deaths (maternal and child health Kenya, 2012).
