survival and development with equity among the most deprived urban
poor communities in and around Mumbai by providing advanced
treatment support with a focus on early childhood development for
children with Severe Acute Malnutrition at BJWHC. More than 250 SAM
children will get holistic inpatient care at this facility every year. As part
of this effort, UNICEF has been continuously offering technical and
training support to staff members functioning in the hospital. This state
of the art NRC plus unit will also establish itself as the centre for
research. This centre would also become the training hub for health
staff and field staff on the management of children with SAM.
