Nutrition and early childhood in Haiti, impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on breastfeeding mothers
Nutrition and early childhood in Haiti, impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on breastfeeding mothers
In Haiti, child malnutrition remains one of the greatest development challenges. With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation of children under 5, including breastfeeding women, is appalling. Inadequate infant and young child feeding practices (breastfeeding and complementary feeding) are one of the major causes of this malnutrition. Other causes include infectious diseases, lack of appropriate care, poor access to health, water, hygiene and sanitation services, and rampant poverty in rural and urban areas of Haiti.
The consequences of child malnutrition are seen throughout the life cycle. In fact, during early childhood, malnutrition exposes the child to a high risk of mortality, poor health, and a slowdown in physical and mental development. During school age, malnutrition reduces children's ability to learn and increases their absenteeism. In later adulthood, childhood malnutrition increases the risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and substantially decreases productivity and earnings. Fortunately, an unprecedented commitment by the Haitian government and its partners to nutrition since 2010 has resulted in the implementation of experiences and tangible progress in reducing child malnutrition. The major difficulty remains the sustainability of these achievements. With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the situation is really worrying in Haiti.
