Child Malnutrition Treatment

Severely undernourished children suffer from reduced immunity and some cases – critical illnesses. In fact, severe malnourishment is a leading cause of death among children under the age of five years. This problem is particularly prevalent in the underprivileged tribal areas, where a high number of children under the age of five are grossly underweight and have stunted growth.

Children suffering from Severe Acute Malnourishment (SAM) require immediate nutritional care and rehabilitation in a specialised centre. And those suffering from additional problems like infections, loss of appetite and swelling on legs also need simultaneous medical care.

At Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre, malnourished children are treated by a team of consultants such as:

Paediatrician

Audiologist & Speech Therapist
Paediatric Neurologist
Paediatric Orthopaedist
Psychiatrist & Psychologist
