Abstract:
Children of today are citizens of tomorrow, hence improving nutritional status among children becomes extremely important for all the nations. The raw data collected from the Lakhimpur district reveals that the burden of overall nutritional deficiency among children is still too high; on average, two in every five (37%) children had at least one kind of nutritional deficiency. However, the nutritional status of female children has improved over time compared to the male children, but the overall decline is not satisfactory. We have observed a higher inequality of nutritional deficiency among c

Despite numerous Government efforts to tackle the problem of child under-nutrition in Malawi, the levels of child under-nutrition remain high with stunting estimated at 47% and underweight at 12.7% .

It studies how feeding patterns and child immunisation affects child’s nutritional status in Malawi and analyses the different pathways through which household and community level socio-economic factors affect a child’s nutritional status in Mal

Several attempts from governmental and non-governmental organizations to address the problem have fallen below expectation.

Background: Appropriate child feeding prevents nutrient deficiencies, diseases, and deaths in children. However, only 13.3% of children aged 6-23 months in Ghana receive the minimum acceptable diet.

This is showing no improvement despite economic development and implementation of globally recommended nutrition &amp; feeding interventions.

For the game-like task to be successful, a high number of responses (in particular correct head turn responses) was required. Previous studies, although not all looking at localisation ability, have used many different techniques to obtain the maximum number of responses from a child. The children were engaged inside a custom-built environment inside an anechoic chamber. Three larg

Abstract:
Pneumonia is one of the major public health problems threats to child survival in large parts of the world. The burden of this disease in terms of morbidity and mortality remains unacceptably high with almost one million children dying every year as a result of pneumonia episode. Over 90% of these pneumonia-associated deaths in young children occur in developing countries and are mainly secondary to bacterial infections. The availability of effective vaccines against bacterial pneumonia, coupled with adequate and efficacious antibiotic treatments, should be sufficient to reduce this burden.

Childhood underweight is a consistent public health problem globally. About 12.6 per cent of the total under-five children (85.4 million) were underweight in 2020, while half of the underweight burden (42 million) belonged to the Southeast Asian Region. Being underweight is one of the major risk factors for early neonatal mortality and morbidity in many developing countries. Although the global trend of underweight children has decreased over time, such progress is not uniformly distributed among resource-poor settings.

Abstract:
The indigenous peoples and African descendants in Latin America and the Caribbean are far behind the rest of the population in terms of access to education, health services, and financial services, something that is reflected in poor labor outcomes and high poverty rates. Indigenous peoples and African descendants achieve lower levels of education in their lifetime. In recent decades, the region has narrowed the years-of-education gap between the indigenous peoples and the non-indigenous population, but the differences are still large. The gaps in access to health services are clear in the mat

Abstract:
Southern Madagascar’s worst drought in 40 years had devastating cumulative effects on harvest and livelihoods. On top of this, frequent sandstorms and pest infestations have led to severe stress on vegetation triggering a drastic decline in rice, maize and cassava production. These environmental aspects, combined with a lack of livelihood diversification and ongoing poverty, the presence of cattle raiders and restrictive government decisions, have driven the population of southern Madagascar to acute food insecurity conditions. By December 2021, more than 1.6 million people were estimated to h

Abstract:
Malaria, human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are leading causes of death and public health threat to millions in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC is the second most malaria affected sub-Saharan African country after Nigeria, with malaria being the leading cause of death in children under 5 years (Lechthaler et al., 2019). The HIV prevalence in the country in the adult population stands at 1%, with extensive variations by region (UNAIDS, 2021c). The DRC is considered a high burden country for TB and HIV infection (Linguissi et al., 2017). This rapid review empha

Abstract:
Access to essential infrastructure services such as water, sanitation, and garbage collection can considerably affect children's environment and may play a significant role in shaping early childhood developmental and health outcomes. Using data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) for 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), we show a significant positive association between access to water and sanitation and early childhood development, as well as reduced instances of stunting. In addition, we identify a negative associ
