(KPL) Namor​ District Public Health Office, as well as the District Public Health Hospital, have contributed significantly to promoting nutrition and breastfeeding for the people in the district.

"If compared to the same period before, a large number of ethnic groups still do not know how to raise their children properly, causing children to be malnourished, underweight, and the brain development of children is slow, resulting in stunted children, poor health, etc," said Dr. Khamchai Phongsavat, Deputy Head of the Health of Namor District. People are healthy as the mortality rate is reduced.

We also publish health advertisements for the local to be aware and understand about breastfeeding, the dangers of malnutrition, making children healthy and the death rate decreasing.

According to the goal set by the National Assembly, which is to strive to reduce malnutrition in children by 15%, through actual implementation, it is 13%. For the height of children, the standard is set to 15%.

Namor Community Hospital has given importance to the work of promoting nutrition in infants and children from the day of birth to the age of 1 year by advice on nutrition, which started from pregnant woman until the day of birth and the receive the vaccination in each period.

The medical staff of Namor Community Hospital also made an advertisement for nutritional work for pregnant women with nutritional deficiencies or pregnant women with excess nutrition.

After the child was born, they made an appointment to receive injections until the age of 1 year. At each injection, the age, weight, and height of the child were monitored to assess the nutritional deficiency of the child, as well as giving advice to the parents of the child to pay attention to the nutrition work for the child.
