Please watch this great video made by our friends at the World Bank. They do a great job at explaining malnutrition in India and what we can do about it. WB recently gave RMF a longer, India-specific version of this video, in Hindi, that has been edited and adapted as a tool to train field workers in nutrition. We’re using this video during our training sessions with local NGOs and self-help groups to give them an introduction on malnutrition.

Field in Umri, Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. April 2009
Last week I blogged about our program launch. We realize that it is unusual in the NGO world for an organization to launch such an ambitious initiative in such a short period of time. While in the ideal world we could have spent many more months planning, doing baselines assessments, and fundraising, we know that we need to act as soon as possible with the resources we have because if we wait too long human lives are our opportunity costs.

Dr. Fabian Toegel addressing men and women representing over 40 tribal villages in malnutrition identification, treatment, and prevention. April 25th, 2009
After almost two months of planning, field assessments, and speaking to everyone from mothers of malnourished children to politicians we launched the first phase of our malnutrition eradication program in Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh with two trainings in malnutrition identification, treatment, and prevention over the past week. Our intervention will be a long-term, holistic initiative, with not just trainings but consistent onsite activities and follow up over the next two years, but this past week we started with the first step, a training to create awareness and to increase referrals of severe acute malnutrition to government centers.

Starting RMF’s Malnutrition Program in India I Love Trouble
Last month sitting comfortably with a cup of coffee and my laptop, I sat on my balcony in Delhi and read a New York Times article by Somini Sengupta titled “As India Growth Soars, Child Hunger Persists” (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/13/world/asia/13malnutrition.html Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End download ). Living in India and considering myself a well-informed hand of the development sector, I knew that malnutrition was one of the nagging problems pulling back at India’s development, but the awesome extent to which malnutrition plagues this country was a shock. With 46% of India’s future threatened by malnutrition, to call the problem India’s “a national shame,” in the words of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is just the beginning.

Harvard and the Real Medicine Foundation have partnered for an ongoing student outreach course that will support the organization’s HIV/AIDS prevention and care programs in Jhabua, India.
Taking place over an eight week period, this project will allow students to work alongside RMF doctors and volunteers at the Bhil Academy, teaching classes in English and Science and helping to monitor the health of the students. They’ll also assist with the activities of the Jhabua District HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Program RMF helped establish in 2006.

We left Delhi on Friday night, heading to the ridiculous Delhi train station to catch our overnight train to Jhabua. Dr. Fabian Toegel accompanied us, thankfully, because we would not want to navigate that place on our own.
