WHO recognised four nutritional deficiency diseases that, by their extent and social significance, caused the most serious public health problems in the developing countries. There were protein, calorie malnutrition, xerophthalmia, nutritional anaemias, and endemic goitre.
In most WHO-assisted nutrition projects, the nutrition activities were carried out within the framework of the health services, but they also were centred on specific programmes, depending on the needs of the countries concerned and on local conditions.
The 15n stamp’s mottos are: Health begins at Home/Good Food means Good Health.
