Sometimes, not everything is either black or white. Sometimes there are more problems that arise that you could not have possibly prepared for. Well you may not actually know this, but we are much closer to being able to provide life saving treatment for every severely malnourished child in the world. This is thanks to some heavy treated milk. It saved lives of thousands children so far. One drawback is that this milk can only be safely given by doctors and nurses inside a proctored hospital setting. Because many of these people live in remote areas, they would have to travel very long distances in order to receive treatment. Many people didn’t even make it there on time. More often then not, there are so many people; they cannot all possibly fit into the one hospital. Due to the lack of space, it was very easy for infections to spread between the patients making them even sicker. But then, something changed. A recent development in Therapeutic foods made it even easier for people with no previous access to safe food to be able to eat safely. These foods do not need to be stored anywhere special, they don’t even need to be heated or need any water to be added to them. Mother’s can now pick up foods from their local heath centers and feed their children at home. Now we can treat more children then ever before. All children deserve bright and healthy futures.
