In a joint initiative to help tackle malnutrition causing stunting among preschoolers in Iba, Zambales, the municipality’s Rotary Club recently partnered with Wyeth Nutrition Philippines through its new premium product, Ascenda Kid, to host a Pre-School Readiness Program attended by 185 children aged three to five years old, along with 171 parents and caregivers.
According to the Food and Nutrition Research Institute – Department of Science and Technology, stunting is the most common form of malnutrition in the country, affecting about 27 percent of children three to five years old. OperationPlus in Iba this year showed 563 children aged zero to 59 months to be stunted or severely stunted. Even while maternal and child health is improving given the local government’s focus, more help is needed.
Towards its purpose of unlocking healthier and happier lives through the power of nutrition, Wyeth Nutrition implements advocacies tackling urgent nutrition and health challenges, especially among children. These advocacies involve raising awareness and partnering with other stakeholders. She emphasized that Ascenda Kid milk is clinically proven to result in growth in as early as three weeks.
