Commission-on-Human-Rights
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has lauded the campaign of local government units (LGUs) in Central Visayas, led by the National Nutrition Council in the region (NNC-7), to improve the nutrition of children.
The LGUs have beefed up their feeding programs for children and provided maternal services and monitoring on top of conducting awareness campaigns on breastfeeding to combat malnutrition, the CHR said.
It said the joint initiative between NNC-7 and the LGUs pays particular attention to the first 1,000 days or two years and seven months of a child’s life.
National Nutrition Council
The CHR cited the 2015 National Nutrition Survey (NNS) which found that two out of five children (37.7 percent) aged five and below in Central Visayas are stunted, which means that a child has failed to reach his or her full potential for growth.
