Changing the way we treat malnutrition for good
Save the Children’s Global Malnutrition Initiative: A conversation with GMI Chair, Robert Glick OBE.
The efforts of the international community and the generosity of the British public helped to avert a catastrophic famine in the Horn of Africa in 2017. Three years later, however, the region is facing more severe flooding and drought.
Our teams know how to identify and treat malnutrition – more than 80% of children who receive treatment recover. But currently, only a fifth of those who desperately need treatment can access it because health services are not easily accessible to them.
