01/19/2008 Dura critica di Medici Senza Frontiere (Msf) agli articoli sulla malnutrizione pubblicati sull'ultimo numero della rivista 'The Lancet' che "minano il sostegno all'utilizzo degli alimenti terapeutici pronti all'uso per combattere la malnutrizione infantile". L'associazione sottolinea che il "nuovo approccio", recentemente promosso dalle maggiori agenzie dell'Onu attive nel settore, alla cura della malnutrizione è basato su cure domiciliari e a livello di comunità con gli alimenti terapeutici pronti all’uso spesso disponibili a livello locale, mentre gli articoli del Lancet sono centrati su un "approccio obsoleto" basato sul ricovero ospedaliero dei pazienti malnutriti. Secondo la ricerca del 'The Lancet' sono circa 3,5 milioni l'anno i bambini che muoiono per fame nel mondo mentre soffrono di malnutrizione 178 milioni di piccoli sotto i 5 anni, cioè il 32% dei bambini di questa età.
