Nutrition Surveillance Reports Health Assessment Programme: Issue No.1, (January–June 2011)
|
Malnutrition among refugee children aged 6–59 months is a critical public health concern due to the heightened disease vulnerability of this age group and the food insecurity facing refugee populations. As part of refugee health assessments at key locations around the world, the IOM Migration Health Division teams routinely conduct anthropometric measurements for all persons examined. Using this data, IOM provides regular Nutrition Surveillance reports that are disseminated to key partner agencies, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
