Almost 43% of under the age of six kids in the country, suffering from severe acute malnutrition, are in Uttar Pradesh. COVID pandemic, loss of livelihoods, overburdened healthcare system and disrupted anganwadi services have made matters worse in the state. A Gaon Connection report.

Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh: Kanti Devi gave birth to her second son Anmol three months ago. Her older son Adit is one-and-a-half years old. Her eyes sick with worry, Kanti Devi tended to her baby boy.

At three months, Anmol should have weighed over six kilograms (kgs). But lying on a bed at the nutritional rehabilitation centre in Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, his recorded weight was half of that, at three kilograms.

Not too far away, on another cot, played Adit, Kanti Devi’s older son who weighed 6 kg at 18 months. “Both my sons have fever and diarrhoea,” Kanti Devi told Gaon Connection. “I took them to the community health centre at Tambour, and I was asked by the doctor there to bring them to the district hospital,” she said.
