How will we treat 6M kids a year for SAM by 2020?
The Airbel Center at IRC has worked in consultation with the No Wasted Lives Coalition to help answer the following question: how can we, as a nutrition community, treat 6M children a year for SAM by 2020? To come up with an answer, we identified promising innovations in SAM treatment, spoke to experts leading the charge for greater effectiveness and reduced cost, and built a mathematical model to project treatment and cost numbers into the future. The Airbel Center is making our results, as well as our model, available to the broader nutrition community, to challenge our assumptions and broaden the discussion. Please send any questions or feedback to Natan.Last@rescue.org.
