Maternal and Child Nutrition

Maternal and child nutrition is a critical area of study with profound implications for lifelong health. In this track, we address key issues surrounding maternal and child nutrition, including prenatal nutrition, breastfeeding, and early childhood nutrition.

Prenatal nutrition plays a crucial role in fetal development and maternal well-being. Discussions will center on the latest research findings related to maternal nutrition, supplementation, and the long-term health outcomes for both mothers and their offspring.

Breastfeeding is considered the gold standard for infant nutrition. Attendees will explore the latest research on the benefits of breastfeeding, strategies to support breastfeeding mothers, and the promotion of breastfeeding in healthcare settings.

Childhood nutrition is another pivotal area, with the global rise of childhood obesity and malnutrition. This track will discuss strategies to combat these pressing issues, including school nutrition programs, dietary education, and public health initiatives aimed at improving the nutritional status of children.
