Health and Nutrition in Papua New Guinea

Nutrition

More than 900 children under age 5 die in Papua New Guinea each year - 33% due to malnutrition. Many of PNG's pregnant women are anaemic.  So much can be done to improve maternal and child health & nutrition at home.  World Vision programmes include nutrition awareness training.
