We agree that prevention is still better than cure, but instead of a mass Vitamin A supplementation in Nepal, we need a health promotion intervention aiming to increase the intake of relatively cheap vegetables and fruit
In addition we need better surveillance and help to identify children with Vitamin A Deficiency and provide them with Vitamin A supplements
Summary
Dr Padam Simkhada, Dr Brijesh Sathian, Dr Sudhir Adhikari, Dr Edwin R. van Teijlingen, Dr Bedanta Roy. Is early diagnose for Vitamin A deficiency better than the current supplementation programme of Nepal?.
