The need for context-specific nutrition and health policies and interventions: The reality of disparities in socio-economic, health and nutritional status
Abstract
During discussions with local health professionals pre-1994, Dr Urban Johnsson of UNICEF was told that, unlike Malawi, South Africa was a heterogeneous country. Interventions proposed by UNICEF needed to take into consideration differences that existed between and within regions in the country, with regard to health and socio-economic status.
