The faces of child wasting
A series of videos from Cambodia, Indonesia, and the Philippines
A series of videos from Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines show there is hope – not only in preventing wasting, but in finding cases early before a child becomes sick, so that children can be treated and recover at home, with their families. The videos follow the journeys of Srey Nich, from Cambodia; Jibril, Jackson, and Abrisan, from Indonesia; and Crisel from the Philippines as they are diagnosed and treated for severe wasting.
See where these young children live, how their parents found out they were wasted, and what kind of care is provided by their communities and local health facilities. Listen to government health workers and UNICEF staff explaining the actions put in place to prevent, find and treat children with wasting. And share the joy as these children become healthy and well again.
