KZN DOH APPROACH TO
NUTRITION
(Integrated Nutrition Programme
INP)
25 March 2014
Info 4 Africa Forum
Presenter: Ms Zamazulu Mtshali
The Integrated Nutrition Programme
Vision
Optimum Nutrition for all South Africans
Mission
Improvement of the nutritional status of all South
Africans through the implementation of integrated nutrition
strategies
Principles
 Good nutrition for all South Africans should be promoted as a basic
human right and as an integral component and outcome measure of the
country’s social and economic development
 Nutrition programmes should be integrated, sustainable, environmentally
sound, people and community driven
 There should be a clear strategy for promotion of nutritional well being
and the nutritional status of the population must be monitored
 Nutrition policies, strategies and programmes are dependent on the
development of human and institutional capacities and the provision or
adequate financial resources
 Existing structures and programmes should be used to address nutrition
concerns
 An integrated primary health care approach, which includes monitoring to
generate useful information for better targeting of services, will be
adopted in this programme
Nutrition
• Nutritional status influenced by three broad factors: food,
health and care
• Optimal nutritional status: when people have access to
affordable, diverse, nutrient-rich food; appropriate maternal
and child-care practices; adequate health services; and a
healthy environment including safe water, sanitation and good
hygiene practices.
• These factors directly influence nutrient intake and the
presence of disease
• Food, health and care are affected by social, economic and
political factors

Millennium Development Goals
KZN Scenario
1 in 20 children die before their 5th birthday
Of these…
 38% die outside the health service
 55% die in association with HIV
 33% have underlying severe malnutrition
(Save Children, 2011)
KZN SCENARIO
 KZN bears a disproportionately high burden of poverty with 63% to
82% of households living on less than R800 per month (District
Health Barometer)
 Malnutrition remains one of the leading comorbidities for children
under the age of 5 years. Between 2010/11 and 2011/12, the
severe malnutrition under-5 year incidence decreased from 7/1000
to 6.7/1000 (DHIS).
 HIV incidence 37,4% (Antenatal Seroprevalence Survey, 2011)
 > 50% child deaths were related to HIV
 Diarrhea & Pneumonia: 2 leading causes of death in children
<5yrs
 SANHANES-1 2012 found more stunting (H/A<-2SD) in KZN
 Increase in overweight and obesity (W/H > +2SD) in Children 2-5
years Nationally and KZN
Nutrition Scenario
• Concern: Malnutrition; HIV, AIDS & TB
• PLWHA, poor nutrition worsens the effects of HIV by further weakening the
immune system.
• HIV interferes with the ability to access, handle, prepare, eat and utilize
food, thus increasing the risk of malnutrition
• Food and nutritional intake can affect adherence to antiretroviral drugs
(ARVs) as well as their effectiveness.
• Food insecurity and inadequate knowledge of good nutrition
• Nutrition in transition situation where both under and over nutrition
(underweight, stunting, wasting, overweight & obesity) exist in same
community
• Consequences: Non communicable diseases: diabetes, hypertension,
cardiovascular illnesses

info4africa/MRC KZN Community Forum | 25 March 2014 | The Department of Health’s Approach to Nutrition Matters.

  • 1. KZN DOH APPROACH TO NUTRITION (Integrated Nutrition Programme INP) 25 March 2014 Info 4 Africa Forum Presenter: Ms Zamazulu Mtshali
  • 2. The Integrated Nutrition Programme Vision Optimum Nutrition for all South Africans Mission Improvement of the nutritional status of all South Africans through the implementation of integrated nutrition strategies
  • 3. Principles  Good nutrition for all South Africans should be promoted as a basic human right and as an integral component and outcome measure of the country’s social and economic development  Nutrition programmes should be integrated, sustainable, environmentally sound, people and community driven  There should be a clear strategy for promotion of nutritional well being and the nutritional status of the population must be monitored  Nutrition policies, strategies and programmes are dependent on the development of human and institutional capacities and the provision or adequate financial resources  Existing structures and programmes should be used to address nutrition concerns  An integrated primary health care approach, which includes monitoring to generate useful information for better targeting of services, will be adopted in this programme
  • 4. Nutrition • Nutritional status influenced by three broad factors: food, health and care • Optimal nutritional status: when people have access to affordable, diverse, nutrient-rich food; appropriate maternal and child-care practices; adequate health services; and a healthy environment including safe water, sanitation and good hygiene practices. • These factors directly influence nutrient intake and the presence of disease • Food, health and care are affected by social, economic and political factors
  • 8. KZN Scenario 1 in 20 children die before their 5th birthday Of these…  38% die outside the health service  55% die in association with HIV  33% have underlying severe malnutrition (Save Children, 2011)
  • 9. KZN SCENARIO  KZN bears a disproportionately high burden of poverty with 63% to 82% of households living on less than R800 per month (District Health Barometer)  Malnutrition remains one of the leading comorbidities for children under the age of 5 years. Between 2010/11 and 2011/12, the severe malnutrition under-5 year incidence decreased from 7/1000 to 6.7/1000 (DHIS).  HIV incidence 37,4% (Antenatal Seroprevalence Survey, 2011)  > 50% child deaths were related to HIV  Diarrhea & Pneumonia: 2 leading causes of death in children <5yrs  SANHANES-1 2012 found more stunting (H/A<-2SD) in KZN  Increase in overweight and obesity (W/H > +2SD) in Children 2-5 years Nationally and KZN
  • 10. Nutrition Scenario • Concern: Malnutrition; HIV, AIDS & TB • PLWHA, poor nutrition worsens the effects of HIV by further weakening the immune system. • HIV interferes with the ability to access, handle, prepare, eat and utilize food, thus increasing the risk of malnutrition • Food and nutritional intake can affect adherence to antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) as well as their effectiveness. • Food insecurity and inadequate knowledge of good nutrition • Nutrition in transition situation where both under and over nutrition (underweight, stunting, wasting, overweight & obesity) exist in same community • Consequences: Non communicable diseases: diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular illnesses
  • 11.
