Catherina Kiraka, UNICEF Kenya Program Associate gives insights about the delivery of RUTF at the Supply Warehouse in Embakasi Kenya, where the Kenya Essential Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) stores and distributes the product to facilities across the country. With the help of donors, UNICEF collaborates with logistics partners such as KEMSA to ensure that the lives of children are saved, no matter where they are throughout the country.
RUTF (ready-to-use therapeutic food) is the peanut paste that UNICEF uses to treat malnutrition in children. The use of RUTH has a very high success rate: over 90 per cent of children treated for severe acute malnutrition in UNICEF-supported nutrition centres recover.
