| dc.description.abstract | The death of three sisters due to starvation shook Delhi last month. Mansi, 8, Paro, 5, and Sukho, 2, were found unconscious in a pool of vomit. They were brought dead to hospital and the post mortem revealed that they died of starvation. It is appalling that the capital city has been struggling to tackle malnutrition among children despite the many endeavours by the government. According to NFHS 4 (National Family Health Survey), over 62 per cent children are anaemic in urban Delhi and that speaks volumes about the state of affairs regarding child health. | en_US |
