Fellowship Training and Field Experience on Nutrition and Health

Abstract

In Bangladesh most of the children are affected in diarrhea and malnutrition. Diarrhea remains one of the major causes of death in Bangladesh. People and children are affected diarrhea who are living unhygienic house, using non-sanitary toilets and eating unhygienic food. A study of 2015 shows that the death rate of diarrhea affected children in Bangladesh is 6% of 0.119 million. Rates of malnutrition in Bangladesh are among the highest in the world. Six million children estimated to be chronically undernourished. Many countries have improved nutrition through social project. It was a 10 days training program. I learned a lot from this institute. Different types of diarrhea and malnutrition patients were seen. I knew about these patients management. I also observed what kind of diet they are given the patient of diarrhea and malnutrition and how they were assessment them. Most of the patient are come from rural area. Icddr,b, mothers are trained to make different types of nutritious food. Such as F-75, F-100, milk suji, halwa, kichuri. These foods can fulfill the nutritional needs of the babies and the mother can prepare these foods very low cost at home. In this way, if the demand for nutrition increases, the child mortality rate is decreases day by day. The lack of awareness and inadequate knowledge of mother and other family members caused the child’s to become more ill. Recently senior scientist Dr. Jobayer Chisti was invented bubble CPAP the cost effective innovative device made with a simple bottle to facilitate severe pneumonia.
