How we treat severe malnutrition
Ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) is a specially formulated peanut-butter paste with the power to bring a malnourished child from the brink of death to full nutritional recovery in just 4 to 8 weeks. It has a 90% success rate in healing children from severe acute malnutrition (SAM), the deadliest form of hunger that accounts for 400,000 child deaths per year.
