"When you’re feeling poorly—really poorly—the last thing you want to do is get yourself down to the doctor’s office. For young people with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Somaliland, travelling to a treatment facility used to be the only option; for many of them, the trip could be long—even dangerous...The study will work with community female health workers (FHWs) to pilot adding treatment for acute malnutrition into integrated community case management (iCCM+). This means communities who struggle to access health centres and facilities can get the treatment they need, much closer to where they live."
