Management challenges of supplementary feeding programs for severe acute malnutrition among children under five years: a qualitative study in Ethiopia

The feeding program encounters challenges due to limited access to healthcare, inconsistent availability of nutritional supplements, inadequate support for malnutrition, and delayed health-seeking behaviour. Addressing malnutrition begins before a child's birth and requires a comprehensive and long-term strategy. Intergenerational caregiving and effective collaboration between communities and healthcare workers can offer valuable insights.

Abstract

The feeding program encounters challenges due to limited access to healthcare, inconsistent availability of nutritional supplements, inadequate support for malnutrition, and delayed health-seeking behaviour. Addressing malnutrition begins before a child's birth and requires a comprehensive and long-term strategy. Intergenerational caregiving and effective collaboration between communities and healthcare workers can offer valuable insights.
