Nutrition
Nutrition is a fundamental pillar of life, health and
development across the entire lifespan. Better nutrition
is essential for survival, physical growth, mental
development, performance and productivity, health and
well-being.
Freedom from hunger and malnutrition is a basic human
right and their alleviation is a fundamental
prerequisite for human and national development.
The aim of WHO’s work in nutrition is to prevent, reduce
and eliminate malnutrition in all its forms worldwide,
thereby promoting a sustainable health and well being of
all peoples, accelerating poverty reduction and
fostering human and national development.
