Guidelines For Integrated Management Of Acute Malnutrition in Uganda January 2016
Summary
              Malnutrition can be either under-nutrition or over-nutrition (obesity). This guideline will specifically deal with acute malnutrition as a form of under nutrition. Under nutrition is the result of deficiency of protein, energy, minerals as well as vitamins leading to loss of body fats and muscle tissues. It is of a major public health concern in Uganda that affects both children and adults. The statistics show that 300,000 children (5% nationally) are estimated to be acutely malnourished and nearly 120,000 (2%) of them have severe acute malnutrition (Uganda Demographic Health Survey, 2011).
