As the pressing issue of malnutrition casts a shadow over the country's public health situation, experts suggest the government take necessary measures to ensure nutrition in food.
This, they said, is especially important following the adverse impact of Covid-19 on the country's economy, which might lead to a rise in the number of stunting and wasting cases in children.
They also underscored the need for co-operation to ensure proper data collection on malnutrition, as Bangladesh lacks sufficient data on the issue.
