eNCA Interview: Stunting in South Africa – A preventable crisis still missing a national plan

DGMT CEO Dr David Harrison speaks with eNCA about South Africa’s ongoing child malnutrition crisis, where one in four children under five is affected by stunting caused by chronic undernutrition. Following last week’s parliamentary debate on the country’s failure to effectively protect children from hunger, he outlines why stunting is entirely preventable, which interventions offer the greatest impact, and the urgent steps needed to reach children on the brink of acute malnutrition.
