Bogo City Nutrition / Barangay Nutrition Scholar

Bogo City Nutrition / Barangay Nutrition Scholar 1. caring for the malnourished . . . The BNS locates and identifies malnourished children through a community survey.

This survey involves weighing all preschoolers and interviewing mothers to determine how the child is cared for, and the resources available in the family for their participation in nutrition and related interventions. Based on the results of the annual weighing of all preschoolers in the barangay called Operation Timbang (OPT), the BNS weighs every month all underweight preschoolers, with weights below normal, very low (BNVL). The BNS also weighs every month all 0-24 month-old children to monitor their growth which is most critical at this stage. The BNS also does a quarterly follow-up weighing of children, 25-71 months old, to the extent possible. The regular weighing provides the basis for corrective actions which may include referral to the appropriate service or implementation of nutrition projects, together with the community.
