OVER the last three years, 41,632 children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in Gujarat have been admitted to Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) in Gujarat, according to data provided in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
Meanwhile, the death rate of newborn babies in Gujarat is increasing as maternal health and malnutrition continue to deteriorate. According to statistics provided by the Government of India in the Lok Sabha, thousands of children under the age of five are suffering from SAM in Gujarat.
The state ranks second in the country for the number of children admitted to NRC with the number of severely malnourished children more than doubling in the last three years a major cause for concern.
