Nutrition Across Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child, and Adolescent Health Care: Focus on Low and Middle Income Countries

Lassi, Zohra S.; Salam, Rehana A.

This book, led by experienced academic nurses and epidemiologists, involves an overview of the global nutrition epidemiology, risk factors, effective health and non-health sector interventions, success stories, insights, and work of nurse and allied health experts of the field, stressing on nutrition as one of the top priorities for women and children living in low and middle income countries (LMICs) specially in disadvantaged and underserved areas. 

The book focuses on nutritional epidemiology and transition in LMICs, and interventions to improve nutrition across the continuum of care for equitable access at each stage: reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health (RMNCAH) care. It also discusses the consequences of hidden hunger, climate change, and conflict on nutritional status of women and children and how best to integrate potentially effective cross-cutting strategies to counter these emerging challenges.

It will appeal to nurses, academics and public health practitioners, but is also of interest to development partners, NGOs, Multilateral agencies and nutrition program implementers.
