Today I went to Chali BHU to examine the reported cases of Malnutrition. A total of 128 under five children came to the BHU. It took the entire day to examine all these children ..All children were weighed , their heights/lengths measured and their Z score calculated. Most of the children were found to be normal. A few cases of mild underweight were seen. Further , couple of children with heart murmurs were detected who have been called for a Echo. I will be preparing a detailed report of the children seen.No case of severe malnutrition was seen.
And I found out that the level of Malnutrition is within acceptable limits as defined by the WHO. About 5-6 percent of the children.
