Changes in height-for-age of Egyptian children from 1995 to 2014: implications for improving child health outcomes
To reduce stunting rates and achieve the SDG of ending malnutrition, our findings highlight the need for targeted interventions. Interventions should be geographically targeted, promote gender and income equality, improve maternal nutrition, and expand access to better sanitation facilities. This is in addition to wealth redistribution and reforming Egypt's subsidy program to focus on nutritious food.
