Poshan Abhiyaan, the Government of India's primary nutrition initiative, focuses on enhancing nutritional outcomes for children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers. It achieves this by overseeing and evaluating diverse nutrition-related programs.
Key short-term interventions within Poshan Abhiyaan include:
Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) Treatment: This involves identifying and treating children with SAM through specialized feeding and medical interventions.
Anaemia Control Program Promotion: This initiative provides iron and folic acid supplements to children and pregnant women to address anaemia.
These targeted interventions are designed for immediate nutritional status improvement and the prevention of long-term health complications.
