Growth Monitoring and Promotion in Nepal

In Nepal, the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) has implemented GMP for over 20 years as a core child health and nutrition service [15 (link)]. The MoHP aims for monthly contacts for children from birth to two years of age [16 ]. With support from female community health volunteers (FCHVs), trained auxiliary health workers and auxiliary nurse midwives deliver GMP through health facilities and monthly primary health care outreach clinics (PHC ORCs) where they offer additional primary health care services, such as antenatal care, family planning, health education, and counseling. The Expanded Program on Immunization clinics may also be held on the same day (and location) as PHC ORCs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
