The Critical Role of Nutrition in the global health agenda

This session will focus on the critical role of nutrition in the Global Health agenda. Nutrition is a cornerstone of improving health outcomes globally. Addressing malnutrition in all its forms is foundational to making progress toward achievement of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Building capacity to prevent malnutrition and identify it early is a priority.
This session will examine emerging data in the intersection between malnutrition and the COVID pandemic response and recovery, from acute care to the community setting. It will also focus on implementation data for innovative tools and evidence-based approaches that expedite accurate, early identification of malnutrition across the continuum of care.
