What does it mean when a child can’t get the nutrition they need?​

For many families already managing rising food prices and daily expenses, treatment for severe malnutrition can feel out of reach until it becomes urgent.​

But this is changing.​

The Philippines has become the first country in the world to include treatment for severe acute malnutrition in national health insurance.​

This means more children can receive timely, life-saving care — and more parents can face the future with less fear.​

A simple health check.​
A treatment covered.​
A child given a stronger chance to grow, learn, and thrive.​

Patatas, carrots, malunggay, munggo, at kamote. Alam mo ba, Mommy, na pwede mo silang itanim sa bakuran o sa paso? Super healthy pa ito para kay baby! 💚
🗣️ Ikwento mo sa comments kung paano ninyo inihahanda ang iba’t ibang pagkain ng inyong anak. Baka makatulong ka rin sa ibang nanay!

What if a child’s future is shaped by what’s missing from their plate today?

Many parents are stretching every peso just to keep meals on the table.
Some skip meals so their children can eat first.
But sometimes, the nutrition children need still falls short.

And the first years of life matter most.

Without proper nutrition, children face:
Weaker immunity
Slower growth
More difficulty learning in school

Your support helps provide nutrition checks, treatment, and life-saving care — giving children the strength to grow, learn, and build a healthier future.

Because the right help at the right time can change everything.

Be the first line of defense. Details in the first comment.

The National Nutrition Council, in partnership with Organic Intelligence Consulting Inc., successfully conducted a 2-day Nutrition Management Information System (NMIS) Training for the Caraga Region at Amarah Hotel, Butuan City.

The training was facilitated by Aubrey D. Manalo, RND (Nutrition Officer II), and Marc Daniel S. Torzar (Information Systems Analyst I) of the National Nutrition Council along with Ms. Nancy Samonte and Ms. Nicole Thinne Torres of Organic Intelligence Consulting Inc.

It was attended by the National Nutrition Council Caraga team, led by NO III Leah Vina P. Vargas, RN, LPT, MN, together with NO II Mae C. Ramoco, RND, and PDO I Jemarey I. Asube, RND. Also present were Provincial, City, and Municipal Nutrition Action Officers, District/City/Municipal Nutrition Program Coordinators, and nutrition staff from selected local government units (LGUs) across the region.

Day 1 focused on providing an overview of the training and the NMIS platform. Facilitators guided participants through key features of the system while addressing questions and clarifications. Participants were then grouped into pairs—composed of an officer and a staff member—and engaged in hands-on exercises. The staff members were the first to navigate the system, gaining practical experience in logging in, exploring the interface, and encoding data into the platform.

On Day 2, the training continued with officers taking on the hands-on tasks, allowing them to become familiar with system operations and data entry processes. The sessions concluded with a return demonstration, where participants showcased their understanding and application of the NMIS modules.

This training marks a significant step in strengthening nutrition data management and reporting capabilities across the Caraga Region.
