Ensure :
1- Proper case management ie both clinically and nutrition-wise, meaning giving the right medical care correctly and being very focused on what nutritional care we give in terms of quantity, mixing and timing and assessments. This can dramatically help to reduce the mortality rate within the hospital. However early case identification and referrals and massive awareness and health education should be key in our interventions. IYCF would do well in cutting down on malnutrition morbidity and mortality.
