Nutrition and Food Security Survey 2010
In partnership, the Ministry of Health, UNICEF and World Food Programme (WFP), have produced this Nutrition and Food Security Survey of Sri Lanka. It is the first survey to assess the underlying causes of malnutrition in Sri Lanka and the related impact of the increase in global food prices.
This UNICEF and WFP funded survey reveals there are significant disparities between different regions of the country. While the incidence of stunting and underweight was higher in rural areas such as the estate sector and Hambantota, wasting was found to be higher in urban areas including Colombo.
While Sri Lanka is largely on track to attaining most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), significant challenges relating to poverty and child malnutrition remain including socio-economic and regional disparities.

Overview of Maternal Mortality in Sri Lanka 2001-2005
The reduction of maternal mortality is a major international public health goal, but many countries are finding difficulties to make progress towards it. The case of Sri Lanka is successfull story tat demonstrates how rapidly progress can occur when fundamental building blocks are in place. We consider that other countries at similar income levels can take inspiration from Sri Lanka's strategies, interventions and impressive results in reducing maternal deaths. It is our hope that this maternal mortality review will bring a better understanding of each maternal death occuring in this country, as well as key findings to inform policy-making at all levels.
