The Health and Lifestyle Awareness Development Initiative (HLADI) proudly participated in a rigorous three-week training program centered on the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM). This initiative marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to addressing malnutrition challenges in Nigeria, particularly among vulnerable populations.
The IMAM training was meticulously designed to empower healthcare professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to manage acute malnutrition effectively. It covered various aspects, including identification, treatment protocols, and follow-up care for affected individuals, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to implement best practices in their communities.
