KUALA LUMPUR: The 2022 -2030 National Strategic Plan to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition Among Children in Malaysia will focus on strengthening the governance of nutritional well-being through legislation, political commitment and stakeholders.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said this was among the five cores under the plan which were discussed and refined in the meeting of the Special Committee to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition Among Children, he chaired on Tuesday .
"Another core is empowering the development of capacity and human capital towards the well-being of children's nutrition as well as the synergy of child nutrition advocacy," he said in a statement on Tuesday. Meanwhile, he said the committee would meet twice a year to ensure that the allocations provided have a positive impact on children's nutritional status and will emphasise five areas.
"I'm sure the success of this plan shows the government's commitment and concern to combat the problem of malnutrition among children in order to produce a healthy and productive generation," he said. He said, children who suffered from nutritional problems would grow up to be adults who were at high risk of suffering from non-communicable diseases that require very high treatment funding throughout their lives.
