ESTABLISHING A MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH CARE PROGRAM: Senator Risa Hontiveros (right) leads a Senate hearing looking into a proposal seeking to provide a more comprehensive, sustainable and multi-sectoral approach to address malnutrition. “Poor nutrition harms our children, our mothers, our nation. We need to scale up nutrition during the first 1,000 days of life. Under-nutrition during the first 1,000 days is critical to the future health, wellbeing, and success of a child. It affects the child’s ability to grow, learn and become productive adults,” Hontiveros said. Also in photo are (from left) Senators Sonny Angara and Nancy Binay.
