March 3, 2020in news 0 Comments 0 Likes

Considering the prevailing situation of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in Bauchi State which has claimed the lives of many innocent children, the state government has declared a state of emergency on SAM in the state. Also, the Chairman of the State House Committee on Health will immediately engage all agencies in charge of health in the state to establish a child nutrition committee where all issues regarding SAM and child health would be discussed in order to close the identified gaps and commit to ensuring that the problem of SAM was addressed to the barest minimum. These are contained in a communique issued at the end of a Retreat organised for relevant Committees of Bauchi State House of Assembly (BAHA) by Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) on prevention and treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) as a child right. The communique signed by all 31 members of BAHA led by the Speaker, Abubakar Suleiman, contained that the house would have an in-house discussion to find clarity on both the data presented and the status and have a policy and strategic bill to address and guide against the identified/proposed issues.
