  • Operational Guidelines on

    Nutrition Programmes

    through NHM as per the

    approval of MoHFW, India

    2020-21

  • Preface

    Nutrition is the science of nourishment. It is a fundamental stipulation of life in the

    world. Evolutions in technology, transformation in social structure and life style, economic

    alteration, globalization are some of the significant dynamics for which the world is facing

    with different public health nutrition problems today. Most of the public health nutrition issues

    are easily preventable and have great impact of human health and wellbeing. Realising the

    benefit of different nutritional welfare programmes on nation’s development, GoI

    implemented various nutrition welfare programmes through the MoWD,& MoHFW.

    MoHFW implements programmes for prevention and control of anaemia, vitamin A

    deficiency, iodine deficiency, fluorosis and protein energy mal nutrition through NHM. These

    programmes have optimistic impact on NFHS indicators from 2005 to 2015. Assam is

    considered as one of the well performing state on nutrition indictors and it is the result of

    continuous, dedicated and comprehensive efforts of all health service providers from field to

    district.

    The DRoP on Nutrition for the FY 2020-21 is focused smooth on implementation of

    Anaemia Mukt Bharat and reduction in anaemia among all age groups by ensuring IFA

    availability to beneficiary and compliance. T3 camps are expected to be helpful in this aspect

    in DRoP 2020-21. Identification of malnourished children, referral and improved bed

    occupancy in each Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre is the second important area of interest in

    this year. Approvals for Infant and Young Child feeding practices will definitely help in

    reducing incidences of malnutrition, diarrhoea & pneumonia among children under 2 years

    and will have positive impact of IMR. Due to COVID -19, other nutrition programmes such

    as Intensified Diarrhoea Control Fortnight, National Deworming Days, Mothers Absolute

    Affection, etc will be implemented based on the future guidelines received from GoI. But

    detailed plan and budget are provided in this guideline for your future reference.

    Like previous years all ongoing nutrition programmes will be implemented in 2020-21.

    All health officials, programme officers are requested to go through this nutrition operation

    guidelines to develop proper block and district specific plans for better outcomes. In this

    guideline each programmes are explained comprehensively including different activities such

    as orientation, IEC, ASHA incentive, printing etc together. Hence, please do the planning for

    programme implementation, monitoring and review in a team.

    Anaemia is a major public health issue of India and 50% of total anaemia is caused by iron

    deficiency. Anemia is the second highest cause of maternal mortality in Asia. Mortality due to anemia

    contributes to 22% (n=115,000) of the total maternal deaths every year, 90,000 deaths in both sexes and

    all age groups were due to iron deficiency anemia alone and India contributes to about 80% of the

    maternal death due to anaemia in South Asia.

    The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoH&FW) has launched Anemia Mukt Bharat

    Programme with special focus on the health and nutrition needs of children, adolescents, women of

    reproductive age group and pregnant mothers and lactating mothers. Its main objectives are IFA

    distribution and compliance, anaemia detection, referral and treatment for achieving the goal of better

    hemoglobin status among the people of India.

    This will be achieved through six interventions, implementation of which will be facilitated by

    six robust institutional mechanisms. To facilitate seamless implementation of the interventions, a

    training tool kit has been developed which will be used to orient and train different stakeholders at

    various levels for effective implementation of Anemia Mukt Bharat (AMB) strategy.

    • Children 6-59 months • Children 5-9 years • Children 10-19 years • Pregnant Women • Lactating Women • Women of Reproductive age

    years age by ANM/ASHA using the Eligible Couple Register (ECR). ASHA will mobilize the target

    beneficiaries to attend the VHNDs, where they will be counselled by ANM on the importance of IFA

    supplementation and deworming to prevent anaemia. Beneficiaries will be encouraged to undergo

    haemoglobin testing at the nearest health facility and, if diagnosed to be anemic, treatment will be

    provided as per protocol with advice on supplementation, once the Hb is normal. If Hb is found to be

    normal, weekly IFA supplementation will be provided and if the woman is planning for pregnancy, she

    is to be counselled to stop IFA supplementation and initiate Folic Acid supplementation. If she is

    already pregnant and in the first trimester of pregnancy, she will be counselled to continue Folic Acid

    Set up of ORS – ZINC CORNER

    ORS - Zinc Corners are usually meant for childhood diarrhoea with some dehydration to be

    administered ORS under supervision for 4 hours. Also no-dehydration cases that come directly

    to facilities could be treated at the ORS – Zinc corners. When there are no diarrhoea cases using

    the ORS – Zinc corner, the area can be used for treating other problems

    Location:

    ORS – Zinc corners should be permanently at health facilities like like Medical Colleges,

    District Hospitals, Block health facilities, primary health centres, sub-centres, private paediatrics

    facilities etc. Earmark a suitable area in the health facility for the corner. A small corner in the

    OPD or ward or any other suitable area in the health facility is generally enough for this purpose.

    The space required would depend on the case load. While earmarking such an area it should be

    ensured that:

    In case of hospital, the area is close to the workplace of the Doctor so that assessment of the child can be carried out frequently.

    The area is near a toilet or a washing facility, where mothers can clean the child and wash their hands before feeding them.

    Mothers can sit comfortably while administering ORS to their child. Pleasant and well-ventilated.

    Timings:

    The ORS – Zinc corners should be functional during OPD timings and 24 hours in

    paediatrics ward. A health worker who is trained in preparation of ORS solution and Zinc

    solution, should be posted to manage the corner. The corner should be prominently labeled as

    “ORS – Zinc Corner for treatment of diarrhoea”

    Materials required for management of ORS – Zinc corner

    One table and two chairs / one bench with a back where the mother can sit comfortably while holding the child should constitute the corner

    Shelves to hold supplies Sufficient ORS packets and Zinc tablets with potable drinking water in a clean container,

    five glasses (200 ml), bowl / cup, soap, waste-backet, one litre vessel, clean spoons and

    leaflets should be on the table.

    Counselling at the ORS – Zinc corners:

    The doctor / staff should counsel the mother in person using MCP card and administration of Zinc for 14 days.

    Consultant Nutrition

    ORS – Zinc corner is a good place to display informative materials. Banner and poster on ORS – Zinc, hand washing and continued feeding should be displayed at the corner.

    Activities: At least one litter of ORS solution should be prepared daily after washing hands with

    soap and water. The solution should be kept at the ORS – Zinc corner. It should be

    readily available to the mother when required. Replenish the solution whenever required.

    More than 24 hours prepared solution should be discarded and not be used. After the

    mother has washed her hands thoroughly with soap and water, provide the ORS solution

    in bowl / cup or glass with spoon to enable her to administer the solution.

    In case of a diarrheal episode during ORS administration, the child and mother and the area should be thoroughly cleaned. After washing hands again with soap and water the

    mother should administer ORS.

    If the child vomits, the child and mother and the area should be thoroughly cleaned. After washing hands again with soap and water the mother should administer ORS more

    slowly.

    In case of no-dehydration diarrhoea,

    Administer ORS solution at the corner for some time till the child is comfortable.

    Explain the mother on how to prepare the ORS solution, if possible demonstrate.

    Demonstrate on how to prepare age appropriate Zinc tablet solution in a spoon.

    Administer the first dose of Zinc tablet solution.

    Explain when to administer ORS and Zinc.

    Provide at least one ORS packet and 13 tablets of Zinc to take home.

    Advice on age appropriate feeding during diarrhoea

    Advice when to return In case of some-dehydration diarrhoea, Administer ORS solution at the corner for 4 hours Re-asses the child for status of dehydration. In case of no dehydration, follow the above steps for no-dehydration diarrhoea. In case of severe-dehydration, the child needs to be admitted for Plan C treatment.

    Content for VHSNC meeting to be conducted during IDCF:

    ANM should carry out IDCF meeting with VHSNC members in her subcentre village and those

    villages where her VHND workplan falls in the IDCF weeks. ASHA will mobilize all families

    with under-five children as well as VHSNC members for the session.

    1. ANM should start the session with key message of the IDCF campaign highlighting

    importance of ORS and Zinc, hand-washing and importance of Sanitation & hygiene in control

    of childhood diarrhoea.

    a. After highlighting importance of hygiene and sanitation, ANM and or ASHA would demonstrate hand-washing with soap and water.

    b. ANM will demonstrate preparation of ORS and Zinc, importance of safe water, hand-washing.

    c. ANM will communicate on danger signs of diarrhoea.

    d. ASHA would distribute ORS to each family with under-five child who are present during the session.

    e. If there are cases of diarrhoea then ANM or ASHA will assess the child and provide ORS

    – Zinc. If child is severely dehydrated then referral will be ensured.

    2. PLA technique to be used for advocacy around sanitation & hygiene: PLA (Participatory

    Learning Approach) techniques should be carried out such as mapping of open defecation areas

    in and surrounding the village and plan for stopping open defecation should be chalked out, with

    active participation of VHSNC members and representatives from Department of Drinking

    Water and Sanitation.

    a. The ASHA / ANM will ask the participants to narrate the ailments caused due to water contamination. This could be Diarrhea, Typhoid, Intestinal worms, Abdominal pains,

    Vomiting etc.

    b. The ASHA / ANM will ask participants to say what contaminates the water and food to cause these diseases. A relationship between human faeces, water and the diseases will

    be established. Focus on how faecal matter slowly recedes into the soil. She will explain

    how contaminated human faeces get into water and food from open defecation through

    flies.

    c. The ASHA / ANM will ask one of the participant’s who had suffered from Diarrhea, about the suffering and cost involved for treatment.

    d. A calculation of quantity of faeces will be done. For this The ASHA / ANM will ask the

    participants the average percentage of households that do not have a toilet.

    Average percentage of households that do not have toilet X Total population of the village = No. of people defecating in the open.

    No. of people defecating in the open. X 0.3 kg (average faeces excreted per person per day) = Daily quantity of faeces excreted in open (in kg).

    Daily quantity of faeces excreted X 30 days = Monthly quantity of faeces excreted in open (in kg).

    Monthly quantity of faeces excreted per day X 12 months = Annual quantity of faeces excreted in open (in kg).

    e. The importance of use of toilet for defecation will be emphasised.

    f. A rough map of the village will be drawn on the ground using a stick or stone.
