Over 50% families can’t have two meals a day

[fisher1]

No this is the effect of 30 year rule of the people you do pooja off.

1 year of tabdeeli.

If you have some respect for your mom who I'm sure taught you to be honest and not to lie, you have to admit that the malnutrition is not a new disease in Pakistan which appeared with Naya Pakistan...

[Maxpane]

the problem is there is no industry . Business men invests in plots and land which do not create jobs and exports. there should be a tax on plots to discourage this trend

 

[Rusty]

I doubt this whole survey.Seems like after new Govt took over these kind of surveys are coming out, one after another,seems like case of missing lifafa to me.
50% is too high,it's around 35% today.

While almost 80% of Mushi fellows are in current govt.

They were also in PMLN's government.

 

[Cookie Monster]

Guys, lets not assign/imply blame exclusively as usual. The problem come from institutional deficiency (region suffers from this more broadly) past simple leadership.

This is very key thing Pakistan need to address here:

He stressed the importance of a proper diet during pregnancy, urging expecting mothers to realise that what they eat is transferred directly to their children.

There must be especially rural education program and outreach for all women there of child bearing age. Specific subsidy for nutritious food as soon as they get pregnant maybe can be looked at?

I believe this is the result of a rapid rise in inflation and it would take years of effort to improve living conditions. In the meantime however, bcuz Pakistan is a largely agriculture based economy and produces almost everything it needs to feed it's ppl...there should be some sort of program where the government subsidizes certain essential produce for ppl who can't afford it.

 

[B.K.N]

Meals isn't problem but if they are saying half of Pakistani population isn't getting a balanced diet or enough protein than it would be true but if this article says that people are not getting breads than it's completely false

50% is too high,it's around 35% today.

If someone says 50 percent Pakistanis are not getting balanced diet than that's 100% true but there isn't any scaricty of food in Pakistan

Its lot more severe in Pakistan on per capit

Aren't you from the same hell on Earth where farmers commit sucides due to poverty and lack of food
In Pakistan there isn't any such problem these surveyor babus have nothing else to do and start publishing such reports

Stop trolling since clearly this survey was done well before IK. ..so who to blame next?

Over 50% families can’t have two meals a day

https://tribune.com.pk/story/2019836/1-50-families-cant-two-meals-day/

KARACHI:

Nearly half of all households in Pakistan are unable to meet their nutritional needs, the first ever survey of its kind in the country has revealed.


According to the National Nutrition Survey 2018 – a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune – poverty keeps more than 50 per cent of Pakistani families from having two meals a day, leading to severe dietary deficiencies.

As a result, as many as 40.2 per cent of all children in the country are affected by chronic malnutrition and stunted growth, which inhibits both their cognitive and physical development, the exercise carried out by the Ministry of National Health Services (NHS) revealed.

The survey also discovered that 36.9 per cent of Pakistani households remain food insecure and lack reliable access to affordable nutritious food in sufficient amounts.

To counter the nutritional emergency as quickly as possible, the federal government has already drafted a food fortification bill for the first time in Pakistan’s history, Pakistan Pediatric Association (PPA) Secretary General Dr Khalid Shafi said. The bill, among other things, will make the addition of micronutrients in items like flour and ghee mandatory, he told The Express Tribune.

The objective of the survey, which will be released publicly today in a ceremony in Karachi, is to draw the attention of policymaking institutes towards the ever growing problem of malnutrition among Pakistani children.

One of the biggest ever

The survey is one of the biggest in Pakistan’s history and covers both the rural and urban population of all four provinces, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. As many as 115,600 families, including 145,324 women, 76,742 children under five years of age and 145,847 minors aged between 10 and 19 years were studied during the course of the survey.

Teams conducting the research took blood and urine samples from participants and investigated water quality and sewerage situation in and around their homes to determine their natural body development and whether it was hindered by diseases or lack of nutrients.

Participants were also interviewed to ascertain their industrial independence, level of education and in the case of women and infants, breastfeeding ratios.

Startling revelations

Among the key findings of the survey is that only 48.4 per cent of women in Pakistan breastfeed their children during infancy. It also found malnutrition to be at least partially a hereditary issue as women who lacked necessary nutrients in their diet gave birth to weak children.

The study pointed out that the early years of child are extremely important in terms of nourishment and malnutrition at this stage hinders cognitive and physical development, affecting both growth and immunities in the long run.

Four out of every 10 children under the age of five in Pakistan were discovered to be affected by stunted growth and lack of education and awareness was found to be a significant factor behind this. The study also discovered dietary discrimination in the favour of boys over girls in a significant number of families in the country.

Speaking to The Express Tribune, National Institute of Child Health Chairman Prof Jamal Raza noted that it is alarming that the percentage of children suffering from malnutrition in Pakistan is the same as 24 years ago. He stressed the importance of a proper diet during pregnancy, urging expecting mothers to realise that what they eat is transferred directly to their children.

Dr Shafi, meanwhile, pointed out that being underweight in children often result in both underdeveloped cognitive capacities and a history of recurring medical problems.

5 days old story without sources?

Its lot more severe in Pakistan on per capita basis, especially when using more relevant measure of poverty/hunger and more up to date data:

http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/mpi_2019_table_1.pdf

http://hdr.undp.org/sites/default/files/mpi_2019_publication.pdf

In fact India was singled out as one of the case studies making the biggest improvement in MPI, with nutrition being a big part of this:

You ought to read that report and compare it where this new information from the NNS done by Pakistan will impact its progress....before you accuse anyone of unfair concern. The poorest around the world, regardless of nationalty, should be a concern for everyone.



The survey was started well before I.K govt came to power (given how long it would take to survey, compile etc...it cant be just a post-august 2018 kind of thing etc):

https://www.unicef.org/pakistan/reports/national-nutrition-survey-2018-key-findings-report

You can find the report finding at that link too....with the methodology and sampling explained.

You point of the entrenched bureaucrats is well taken.

I suppose we can eat like the Indians and look like the Indians:-

So having over 400 million severely malnourished and extremely poor is worst than having around 50-60 million in the same boat?????..........:

Brilliant, excellent indian logic............



PS By your logic, if there were only 10 people on an Island, and 6/7 of them were starving, would you concentrate on them or the 400+ million severely malnourished and starving in india?......after all the 6/7 starving on the Island are more poorer than india on a per capita basis..............

 

[Reichsmarschall]

so 50% of the population is starving and other 50 % is suffering from obesity?
https://dailytimes.com.pk/237357/50-of-population-in-pakistan-is-obese/
and the the 40% of the food wasted globally is in Pakistan smh

Meanwhile in super power india, busy sending missions to moon and buying "Raphayel".

Key facts about hunger in India
Largest India is home to the largest undernourished population in the world
195.9million people go hungry everyday
21.0% of children under 5 are underweight
40% of children under 5 years of age are stunted
1 in 4 children malnourished

Its lot more severe in Pakistan on per capita basis, especially when using more relevant measure of poverty/hunger and more up to date data:

Justify that when Pakistan is doing better economically.
You folk claim there is no economic comparison between the two, yet here you are talking about slightly higher or lower numbers?
your nation is busy sending missions to the moon for absolutely nothing but to help you live in a fantasy while your people are becoming nothing but mob lynchers, rapists, perverted, and 40% children are stunted.

 

[AZ1]

Seems unrealistic survey really.

 

[CHACHA"G"]

100% fake survey …… If this is the case , 50% families only able to eat once per day , we might seeing dead bodies on roads , hospitals full with so many ill …….. It is extreme of the extreme ………….

 

[I.R.A]

50%.

The people who conducted this survey should be put behind bars, investigated. Who allowed them to go and take blood and urine samples of people ......

Such surveys should only be conducted by state with State's approval and authorisation.

These choochuz conducting the survey ...... do they even know that pregnant women in rural areas would be getting better diet than say a pregnant woman in rural area ....... yes I say that from my own observation and experience.

If I wish I can show Islamabad to be a modern beautiful city ........... and if I have a hidden agenda I can portray the same Islamabad full of slums and naked children running around.

Yes of course, plate of bryani helped a lot to avoid malnutrition.

We have structural problems in Pakistan who have created this malnutrition. And those structural problems are existing since decades. May I remind you DeadSparrow that Pakistan is a 3rd world country. Google a little bit about structural problems of 3rd world country and compare with Pakistan.

Blah blah, excuses excuses, blame game. Before elections, PTI had solutions to every problem. After elections, oh look at my sad face, oh look previous parties have destroyed this country.

You can sell bullshit for sometime before people realise it's bullshit.

In one year, a lot can happen if someone was working.

The Mr Saadiq and Ameen was going to bring tabdeeli with PPP corrupts and Jehangir Tareen and SMQ? Hahaha what a joke

Imran Khan is the fraud of the century for Pakistan.

But for a person who believes that Uturns aka lies makes for a great leadership, nobody was expecting anything else.

Anyway, arguing with PTI cult is wasting my time. Imran Khan could murder in daylight and PTI cult would blame the victim, such is the level of devotion to IK of these people.

PTI isn't a political party, it's a cult of plunderers and scum masquerading as honest people.

My God, Jehangir Tareen, Firdous Ashiq Awan, Hafeez Sheikh have become Saadiq and Ameen.Nauzbillah.

The prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (saww) has come true. Liars are considered honest.

A group of thieves, liars are going to make Riasat e Medina. Astaghfirullah.
