Malnutrition Problem


Malnutrition is a serious public health problem in developing countries. This is particularly high in South Asia. In other words it is the worst is the best in Bangladesh, in spite of the progress and some effort was made in the recent past, affected the country. For a significant reduction in mortality, it is an urgent need to improve the nutritional status and overall health in the death of pregnant women special malnutrition and low birth weight and malnutrition, maternal child.


It is very alarming the current situation. Malnutrition is very serious among girls teen children, and women. The country is also well as international organizations such as UNICEF and the World Bank, it has attracted attention. According to the (2002 recent) report of the World Bank, about 700 children die every day of malnutrition-related causes and other hunger. Researchers of Department of Public Health says that you have a birth weight of energy chronic shortage of mothers of infants 45% and growing less than 2.5 kg. Pregnant women about 50%, at the bottom of the weight. I estimate that children of 97% (BINP) under the age of 5 Bangladesh integrated nutrition consultant that is program is lacking in malnutrition of varying degrees. He also, people 47% have goiter notifies that is ie anemia lacking in iron deficiency 77 percent of children and more than pregnant women, and suffering from population lodine deficiency of about 70%. According to another expert, a good many suffer from lack every time you go from 30,000 to 33,000 blind sump vitamin and night blindness. Cause of 46 percent of children under five who are stunted are wanna protein energy malnutrition number.

Impact of such conditions is extensive and enormous. Life of most of the budding children and people of our hot spring, it strength and energy. It damage their drive, energy and initiative critically. It reduces the height and their intelligence. Stage of the worst malnutrition is death. In short, for them, it means the death of life. There is a health and well-being of most. It is progress productivity state of injury, social, personal, and growth and development significantly. And the loss is huge.

Why does this happen? Intake of food high green leaves, vegetables, fruits, nutritious is missing cause. In other words, the imbalance of intake much lower in calories and diet than desired is present in adulthood in infancy, and childhood. There are two factors behind that - lack of knowledge and awareness of poverty. Poverty is the main cause. Disease of Our Fathers, suffering, please most of the disease it. By default stricken destitute in the medical environment of health and family planning, it is important other producers. The government as well as the execution of what is required in terms of them and poverty alleviation. I have worsened the position of malnutrition failure. The superstition is religious and social culture, there may be a minor part of some. However, the devil is poverty.

Government. It was launched in 1995 Bangladesh integration project with the support of UNICEF and WB. It reached the households of more than 2 million. This has made the counseling and nutrition services. He also provides monitoring of the food supply and growth of children. This was a pilot project that has been deployed in the (BINP) Bangladesh Integrated Nutrition, which is programmed to later take the nutrition services in rural areas of all of Bangladesh in 2015. I donated and government 5.98 million US dollar WB. U.S. $ 7.5 million. UNECEF placed for technical assistance. There is a sub-project of two BINP 2: poultry and household food security for nutrition at the community level. Its focus is the girls and women of the age of the teen now. Known as the "Pusti APA" to 59 upazila of four district better in the northern project area, community nutrition promoter exists. Requirements mother leaf green, vegetables, fruits, food, they give a nutrition education to items such as teen girl woman, newly married and pregnant women in the nutrition session. They specify the packet of food supplement made from soy and (pulse) molasses end bay roasting, DAL. And also, if necessary, to health centers in the region, check the women, they are, please refer to them on a regular basis. The pilot scheme, by "the World Food program", which was launched in 2002 in the southwestern part of the country. It aims to reach 925,000 children known as nutritional snacks in a school project. Rs 40 000 children, each of them got a packet of biscuits, including 80% of the vitamins and minerals and daily 300 calories already. Since then, no doubt, the general perception about the nutritional status and malnutrition, has improved in the project area.

However, I advice and encouragement that can not be given to women for fruiting trees or is if you get it right, that there is little, and grow vegetables. the banks of the river groove that women should be encouraged to increase them around and in the house of their own, ponds, canals and, on both sides of the road, on both sides of the line, it keeps. To grow easily, they are required only to trifle them. Seasonal vegetables of all cultivation of fruit trees, banana, papaya, coconut and deserves preference. It is observed, intake of fruits We are less than half of the desired intake. They also should realize the medicinal value and nutrition of their food. When you manufacture them so rich, keeping strong health and they are necessary. They also must be home for cattle goats, is generated in chickens and ducks. Government. You need to provide at no cost to them. For heaven, it is no loan, but subsidized. Render begging in the long term them for credit. The essential minerals, such as E calcium, phosphorus, vitamin A, B, and C, the villagers have to say that it has been discovered meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. Moreover, they keep working hard and stout, they will be an additional source of income for the villagers. Such benefits are essential for economic liberation and empowerment of women. They also, they will be self-supporting. And government. A few years later, it is released trees, from huge financial burden for many years.

Planning can be made by deeds and such activities. The plan can be Chairman of the Executive Committee, by the Central Committee and the committee retired judge in each upazila have a assistant professor or munsif. Judge as its chairman. Each of the committee, well, each of them, you must have the staff even four members of three. It is possible to delegate management and control, the Central Committee only, both types of committee, is to raise funds, to control them, to be distributed. And, the government funds. You can contribute to the material, to raise from the lottery and subscription. Donations are welcome people living in foreign countries each, and so on from world organizations and foreign countries. The upazila committee, it is similar, respectively, must have a "Pusti APA" of BINP features and other predetermined. Planning may be introduced a number is selected based on the status of malnutrition or worst upazillas all at once. Annual cost of such a scheme, much less than that of Tk of the World Bank estimates. 5700 rupees (WB report, 2002) for the relief of malnutrition. And what is more, the introduction will be possible for us to reach the malnutrition curse Free Bangladesh ie previous destination much further suggestions.

BINP along the side like a government project. It is possible to adopt the above scheme, but by performing the scheme nationwide, that we can not reach the desired target in a short time, and the like. I include the domain and department for numerous malnutrition. It is that poverty alleviation massive programmed is carried out. This is the root of most of the pain and misery of our poverty since. It is possible to ensure the Medicare free for all needs. It is necessary to remove the deficiencies present in the medical facility. You need to punish irregularities and corruption in the behavior of people connected to the medical services of both private dereliction of duty, and the pubic bone. Family planning, must be pursued actively and effectively more. Government. There is a need to take together NGO for environmental health of rural Bangladesh, with more than one program in particular. It is clear to us now for more multiplicity of tasks that need to be performed before we can face the major challenge of malnutrition.
