Screening for Malnutrition
Malnutrition screening activities refer to the measurement of Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC), height, and weight in addition to a rapid evaluation of Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices. Individuals requiring further care are referred to primary health care (PHC) facilities, where they receive follow-up from a team of professionals to ensure comprehensive management and support.
