MOAS (MIGRANT OFFSHORE AID STATION): How Naimo defeated malnutrition

Najmo is a 12-month-old girl living in Makudo’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp near the IMC-supported Sefdheer Health Center. During a routine community health visit to the Camp, Najmo was found to be likely suffering from severe acute malnutrition and was admitted to the outpatient therapeutic program (OTP). Over the course of eight weeks, Najmo received close monitoring and weekly supplies of ready-to-use therapeutic food at the Sefdheer Health Center. Gradually, she began showing signs of improvement, and she was discharged from the program after meeting the required criteria for SAM. This meant that she was now ready to begin her treatment for moderate acute malnutrition (NAM), and she was then transferred to the Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP).
