Organisers of a Maternal Health Open Day held in Suva have observed that nutrition is an area of concern for children.

Organiser and nurse, Sangita Sharma, says mothers should be giving their children the right types of food.

“What we have noticed is, as you know malnutrition is a rise in our country. We see even parents who can afford to buy good food but they do not know what to give their children.”

The three-day event catered for pregnant mothers, infants and kindergarten students. Children who turned up also got a free dental check-up.

Sharma says they plan to have another open day soon.
