Severe Acute Malnutrition is a state of art publication that describes all dimensions of undernutrition. Children with malnutrition are the most vulnerable group which is at the center stage of all government programs working for improving child survival. The book provides an exhaustive resource of information right from identification to management and prevention of malnutrition. All chapters have been contributed by authors with vast experience in this field. We also have a dedicated chapter on community-based management of severe acute malnutrition which has been gaining focus in the last few years. This is a must read book for postgraduate students, pediatric practitioners, those serving the underprivileged, and for the program managers and policymakers.
