“…This was probably because the health workers at Lugasa Health Center iii always provide health education talks to mothers regarding the benefits or importance of EBF to both the infants and mothers at different health care points. The above study findings are in disagreement with the findings of a study that was done by Katole et al (2021), which showed that 92% of the study participants knew about the importance of EBF.…”

Introduction: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a life-threatening condition affecting under-five children. Nutritional rehabilitation centers (NRC) were designed to provide comprehensive clinico-social management of SAM children at an institutional setting. Materials and Methods: The study was based on record analysis of 6 years between 2014 and 2019 after obtaining ethical and administrative approval. The objectives were to compare indices such as admission rate, bed occupancy, and sex-differentials over time as well as among different NRCs. Results: A total of 7316 children were admitted in the 9 NRCs. Quarterly admission ranged between 181 and 389. Gender parity index was higher for girls. Cure rate ranged between 39.8% and 70.9%; subtle modification in diet helped in improving cure rate. Bed-occupancy rate varied from 72.55% to 85.95%. Conclusion: Variability of performance of NRCs could be associated with factors such as available manpower, attitude of providers, and supply of logistics. Regular interaction with community and counseling is necessary to increase admission and hospital stay.
