There are several types of therapeutic feeding programs, including:
1. Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTP): Designed for children who are moderately malnourished and do not require inpatient care. These programs provide ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) like Plumpy'Nut. 2. Inpatient Therapeutic Programs: For children with severe acute malnutrition who also have medical complications. These programs offer 24-hour care, medical treatment, and specialized therapeutic diets. 3. Supplementary Feeding Programs: Target children with moderate acute malnutrition or those who have been discharged from therapeutic feeding programs to prevent relapse.
