¿Establish community health workers in the treatment of malnutrition? I think this is a fundamental action within the framework of COVID-19.
Malnutrition is managed by community health workers. In each health center there are 2 to 3 community workers who carry out the activities. Within the framework of COVID-19 these community agents are trained on preventive measures, currently they are in the community trying to sensitize the communities to respect these measures.
