Dear Mohammed,
Thank you for this question. To help others respond, please could you clarify the type of links or research you are looking for? Are you searching for advice on what to do if a child fails to respond to SAM treatment in OTP or TFC?
Best wishes,
Tamsin

Hi Mohammed,
The generic guideline for West Africa by Mike Golden and Yvonne Grellety has sections on failure to respond in inpatient and outpatient care (MAM - section 7, OTP section 7 and IPF ('TFC') section 8)
