Child malnutrition cases balloon in Old Naledi

Yesterday, councillors heard that of the council’s 15 clinics, Old Naledi consistently had malnutrition cases above the three percent target set by the Ministry of Health. The percent refers to the number of cases recorded when patients visit clinics.

A report tabled by the Urban Development Committee says Old Naledi Clinic reported malnutrition rates of 11.3 and 4.8 percent in January and February 2015 respectively. The report covers January to September 2015.
