As part of National Nutrition Month 2023, with a specific emphasis on mother and child nutrition, our department organized an impactful awareness program at the Family Health Center in Mattom on September 27, 2023. This initiative aimed to educate mothers, caregivers, and the community about the critical importance of proper nutrition during pregnancy and early childhood, recognizing that these foundational years are vital for the health and development of both mothers and their children.

The program featured informative sessions led by nutrition experts, who provided valuable insights into balanced diets, essential nutrients, and the significance of breastfeeding. Participants engaged in interactive discussions that addressed common misconceptions about nutrition and offered practical tips for maintaining healthy eating habits. Additionally, the event included demonstrations on preparing nutritious meals and snacks that are both affordable and easy to make.

By fostering an understanding of the interconnectedness of maternal and child nutrition, this awareness program aimed to empower families to make informed dietary choices. The initiative underscored our dedication to promoting health and well-being within the community, ensuring that both mothers and their children have the resources and knowledge necessary for a healthy future.
