Latest health survey (NFHS-5) reveals shocking levels of anaemia and malnutrition in states.

In a chilling report, the latest National Family and Health Survey (NFHS)-5 has found that some states have one-third to nearly half of young children (up to 5 years of age) suffering from low weight, stunting and wasting, all symptoms of chronic lack of healthy food.

In addition, an unconscionable half to over three-fourth of children, and one-third to three-fourth of women in the reproductive age (15-49 years) suffer from anaemia, again attributable to either lack of balanced food or chronic diseases.

The survey was carried out in 2019-20, and covered a sample of about seven lakh households spread across all states. The data released is of 17 states and five Union territories (covering about 50% of India’s population). Survey work couldn’t be completed in the remaining states due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shockingly, only a few states have shown some improvement in these numbers over the past five years since the last such survey (NFHS-4) was conducted in 2015-16.
