Nutrition Center in May

Lawra Malnutrition Rehabilitation Center

Lawra Malnutrition Rehabilitation Center

May was a busy month for the nutrition center! There was 1 child still receiving treatment at the beginning of the month and then 5 new patients began treatment throughout May, yielding a total of 6 children treated at the center last month. The best news is that half of the patients recovered enough to be referred for outpatient treatment by the end of May! Three children remained in inpatient treatment but we're hopeful they will also be referred for outpatient during June. We are so excited that the nutrition center continues to remain busy because that means its helping many of the children throughout Lawra recover from malnutrition. The most exciting parts of our updates each month, however, are seeing how many children recuperate enough to be discharged from the hospital. We look forward to another update and more discharges at the end of this month!
