PALO, Leyte - As part of the Regional Nutrition Cluster (RNCL) Response for Typhoon Odette, the National Nutrition Council has coordinated with UNICEF for the transfer of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food from Catanduanes.

Ms. Joan Goanzales, Information Management Officer, accompanies members of the Provincial Health Office and Provincial Nutrition Committee in distributing the commodities in the towns of Matalom, Bato, Hilongos, Hindang, Inopacan, and Mahaplag on March 21, 2022.

In addition, the recipients were oriented on the PIMAM reporting system for the outpatient therapeutic care and management of moderately and severely wasted children aged 6-69 months.

In mid-December last year, Southern Leyte and some parts of Leyte province were battered by Typhoon Odette. The RNCL immediately responded through the conduct of Rapid Needs Assessment. Data gathered were submitted to the Department of Health and development partners for proper interventions. #NOII-TMDC
