Stunting in children remains an invisible crisis in SA, but a new pilot is offering a holistic approach that supports both mother and child.
A pilot program in the Western Cape is addressing the persistent issue of childhood stunting by adopting a comprehensive strategy that supports mothers and their children. This initiative aims to tackle the "invisible crisis" of stunting through integrated care. The program focuses on providing essential health and nutritional support from pregnancy through early childhood. Early results suggest this holistic approach can be effective in preventing stunting.
