Improving the status of stunting malnutrition in children, Vinamilk's passion for a rising Vietnam
(Baonghean.vn) - Improving the malnutrition and stunting situation in children, Vinamilk's passion for a rising Vietnam.
For every 4 Vietnamese children under 5 years old, 1 child is stunted and malnourished.
The results of the 2014 Global Nutrition Review show that Vietnam is one of 78 countries that are burdened by the most common malnutrition, including stunting in children under 5 years old at a rate of 25.9%. Micronutrient deficiency is the first thing mentioned. The World Health Organization ranks Vietnam in the list of 19 countries with severe vitamin A deficiency at a rate of 37.5% in children under 5 years old. A recent national survey of children under 5 years old showed that 24% were anemic, 41.5% were zinc deficient (zinc is essential for growth, helping to limit infectious diseases such as diarrhea and respiratory infections).

The main cause of this condition is that during the period from 0-5 years old, children's daily diet lacks too many micronutrients, leading to prolonged digestive disorders, respiratory and digestive infections, rickets, etc. These are "burdens" that affect children's physical development, causing malnutrition and stunted growth.
Vinamilk constantly researches and develops nutritional products for children, for "A Vietnam Rising High"
Over the past two years, Vinamilk has continuously launched nutritional products that meet international standards, meeting the different nutritional needs of young children.
