Nutrition rehabilitation in Transkei. An evaluation

Children and their guardians who had been admitted to the nutrition rehabilitation units at Holy Cross Mission and Rietvlei Hospitals, Transkei, were followed up at their homes between 6 and 14 months later in order to assess the condition of the children, the knowledge gained by the guardians, and the changes implemented by them at their homes. Factors influencing these parameters are analysed and recommendations are made arising from the results obtained.
