How does malnutrition impact children in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Malnutrition is a critical issue, contributing to nearly half of all child deaths in the region. It weakens the immune system, making children more susceptible to infections. Chronic malnutrition can lead to stunting, which has long-term effects on cognitive and physical development. Efforts to improve nutrition include community-based programs and the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding.
