Malnutrition due to lack of nutritional resources unfortunately remains an endemic which ravages Third World countries. Not only is malnutrition a result of continuous droughts and wars, but it is a reflection of the difficult economic circumstances which persist in these countries. Malnutrition should be specifically treated in each region with the least costly locally available means. The experience of the Protestant Hospital of Dabou proves that this manner of care is possible in the midst of a rural area with very limited resources. Hospital surveillance, nutritional education and a stay in the nutritional rehabilitation center offers these malnourished children a new chance to begin in life again. Unfortunately for some, the acquired benefits disappear once they have left the establishment and the child returns to the same least favorable socio-economic environment for his development.
由于缺乏营养资源导致的营养不良，不幸的是仍然是一种在第三世界国家肆虐的地方病。营养不良不仅是持续干旱和战争的结果，也是这些国家持续存在的艰难经济状况的反映。应该用当地成本最低的可用方法在每个地区专门治疗营养不良。达布新教医院的经验证明，在资源非常有限的农村地区，这种护理方式是可行的。医院监测、营养教育以及在营养康复中心住院，为这些营养不良的儿童提供了重新开始生活的新机会。不幸的是，对一些人来说，一旦他们离开机构，所获得的益处就会消失，孩子又回到了对其发展最不利的社会经济环境中。
