Abstract
Côte d'Ivoire's membership in Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) is a momentum in a collective effort to improve the nutrition and nutritional status of the population. This nutritional status study is part of this process and aims to assess the nutritional status of children aged 6 to 59 months in the dietary department of the Regional Hospital of Daloa. To do this an evaluation of the nutritional status is carried out. For this purpose, the anthropometric measurements of the children were carried out. The survey found that acute malnutrition affects 44.34% of children aged 6 to 59 months receiving dietary services from the Regional Hospital of Daloa and 31.13% suffer from severe forms. In fact, children aged 6 to 59 months suffered from stunting, of which 38.68% were severe and 56.60% of children aged 6 to 59 months were underweight.
