Nutrition Awareness Week to put focus on anaemia

The Food Policy Division of the Ministry of Public Health in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) will be seeking to raise awareness about anaemia, which has been found to affect almost 25% of Guyana’s children under five years and over 40% of its pregnant women.

This is part of the activities planned for Nutrition Awareness Week, which will be observed from July 19th to July 25th, 2015 under the theme, “Healthy Eating and Active Living: You, Your Health and Your Future”
