Nutrition-specific interventions

Nutrition-specific interventions are targeted actions aimed directly at addressing immediate causes of malnutrition, such as inadequate daily intake or health issues like infections. These include providing nutritious foods, vitamins, and minerals, treating illnesses, and promoting breastfeeding. The goal is to improve an individual’s nutritional status quickly and effectively, preventing or reducing malnutrition's effects. These interventions are essential in health programs to ensure individuals receive the right nutrients at the right time to support growth, development, and overall health.
