Neonatal and Child Growth Monitoring: A Renewed Call for Uptake and Application of International Growth Standards
The appropriate and correct application of international growth standards offers the opportunity to improve early identification of at-risk infants and children and reduce global disparities in child health outcomes. The GIGS project provides a structured framework and set of tools to operationalise these standards, supporting consistent application across diverse settings and facilitating progress towards global child health goals.
