Problem

The continuous care by Tulips means working with women and children from birth to adulthood in order to break the inter-generational cycle of poor health. Nutritional deficiency cuts across all stages along the continuum of care. We ensure they are aware of the health services they need to live a healthy life.

1. 1. 1. Prevalence of anaemia in Indian women is highest in the world
      2. Anaemia and deficiency, diseases among slum dwellers, migrants and marginalized people add to doubling of figures.

      4. Care during pregnancy, infancy, early childhood are potential building blocks for future health
      5. Identifying, preventing and treating malnutrition
      6. System strengthening to ensure immunizations and exclusive breastfeeding
      7. Children of malnourished women are more likely to face cognitive impairments, short stature, lower resistance to infections, and a higher risk of disease and death throughout their lives
