It has been our privilege to be a part of government initiatives that are aimed at reducing premature births, low birth weights, anemia, stunting, wasting and undernutrition in the under-5-year aged children and reduce the level of malnutrition amongst the most marginalized and weakest sections of our society in states such as Maharashtra, Goa and Tamil Nadu. By developing innovative nutritional products aimed at filling-in nutritional gaps, we are not only addressing critical health needs but also contributing to the overall well-being of our people.
These initiatives have brought about tangible improvements in the health of mothers and children across these states, particularly in underserved regions. By providing access to these essential supplements, we are not only supporting individual health but also fostering stronger, healthier communities, driving long-term social and economic benefits.
Pharmaveda’s Contribution to Goa’s Success in Reducing Child Malnutrition
Pharmaveda is proud to be an integral part of Goa’s remarkable achievement in reducing child stunting, wasting, and underweight cases to the lowest levels in the country. As per recent government data, Goa has reported a stunting rate of just 5.84%, wasting at 0.85%, and underweight children at 2.18%, making it a national leader in child nutrition and health.
This progress is a testament to the effectiveness of Pharmaveda’s Ayurvedic formulations, which are developed in alignment with WHO guidelines and supplied through government channels under a rate contract with the Goa Government. Our scientifically backed nutraceutical and Ayurvedic products have played a crucial role in addressing malnutrition by improving digestion, enhancing nutrient absorption, and supporting overall child health.
These initiatives have brought about tangible improvements in the health of mothers and children across these states, particularly in underserved regions. By providing access to these essential supplements, we are not only supporting individual health but also fostering stronger, healthier communities, driving long-term social and economic benefits.
As part of our commitment to public health and well-being, Pharmaveda has partnered with the Women and Child Development Department of Goa to enhance maternal and child nutrition. Our collaboration has delivered essential nutritional supplements and therapeutic foods to pregnant women, lactating mothers, and malnourished children throughout the state.
Key Contributions:
• Nutripreg Plus – A comprehensive nutritional supplement for pregnant and lactating women that promotes maternal health and optimal fetal development.
• Nutriped – A targeted supplement designed for children aged 2-6 years that fights malnutrition and supports healthy development.
• RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food) – An essential intervention for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) that delivers vital nutrients for swift recovery.
These initiatives are helping to reduce malnutrition rates, improve maternal health, and ensure a healthier future for children in Goa. Through our alignment with government policies and global nutritional standards, we continue to create lasting impact in community healthcare.
