Call For Mitigating Malnutrition

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), malnutrition refers to deficiencies or excess in nutrient intake and imbalance of essential nutrients. There is a term called the double burden of malnutrition which consists of both undernutrition and overweight and obesity, together with diet-related non-communicable diseases. Undernutrition manifests in four broad forms, including wasting, stunting, underweight, and micronutrient deficiencies.
