The Health Ministry has decided to name the month of June every year as the National Nutrition Month with the intention of promoting better nutrition among the population. Special programmes are being planned to educate the people to improve their nutritional standards and create a conceptual change. It is intended to implement the programmes within this National Nutrition Month at the National, Provincial, District and Medical Officer of Health Divisional level.

Special attention will be focused on the nutritional level of mothers and children.
