At UNICEF, we never give up on children, which is why we continue to develop innovative solutions to reach every child. 💡 UNICEF has developed a new Mother-Infant Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) tape that now allows for the screening of infants aged 6 weeks to 6 months. This is an addition to the existing MUAC tape used to screen children between 6 months and 5 years old. The Mother-Infant MUAC tape has been piloted in 14 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It allows for three critical checks: an infant’s nutritional status, an infant’s brain development, and a mother’s nutritional status - because the well-being of mothers and infants goes hand in hand. ✅ *** Subscribe to UNICEF Supply on YouTube here: www.youtube.com/@unicefsupply For more about UNICEF Supply's work, visit: https://www.unicef.org/supply/ Follow UNICEF Supply here: LinkedIn - @UNICEF Supply X - @UNICEFSupply Instagram - @unicefsupply Threads - @unicefsupply Facebook - @UNICEF Supply YouTube - @unicefsupply UNICEF works in the world’s toughest places to reach the most disadvantaged children and adolescents – and to protect the rights of every child, everywhere. Across more than 190 countries and territories, we do whatever it takes to help children survive, thrive and fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. The world’s largest provider of vaccines, we support child health and nutrition, safe water and sanitation, quality education and skill building, HIV prevention and treatment for mothers and babies, and the protection of children and adolescents from violence and exploitation. Before, during and after humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF is on the ground, bringing lifesaving help and hope to children and families. Non-political and impartial, we are never neutral when it comes to defending children’s rights and safeguarding their lives and futures. And we never give up.
