UNICEF East Asia and Pacific’s Post

Good nutrition is one of the smartest investments in a child’s future, and in Calamba City, that idea is coming to life. Expecting mothers are getting the antenatal care and nutrition support they need for healthier pregnancies, while the community works together to ensure every child grows strong. The community has rallied around a shared commitment: preventing malnutrition is everyone’s responsibility. From promoting breastfeeding as the best first food to implementing PhilHealth’s Severe Acute Malnutrition Benefit Package for children who need urgent treatment, Calamba is showing that early, coordinated action works. The Department of Health, UNICEF, Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF), and the Child Nutrition Fund are working together to ensure families can access quality nutrition care when and where they need it.    Because good nutrition doesn't start at the dinner table. It starts much, much earlier.    #NutritionMatters #ForEveryChild  Roland Kupka UNICEF Philippines Rene Gerard Galera, Jr Mueni Mutunga Alison Feeley PhD RNutr Sanele Nkomani Myo-Zin Nyunt Alice Nkoroi
