Vitamin A: lifesaver for the Third World. AID, private sector to bring it.


 Dr. Nils Daulaire, senior health adviser to the US Agency for International Development (USAID), announced their plan to supplement basic food products with vitamin A which will save millions of children in Third World countries from death and diseases. Vitamin A testing conducted in Nepal and Indonesia resulted to significant reductions in the rate of childhood death. Aside from reducing the death rates from illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria, vitamin A also decreases the severity of the symptoms. In recognition of these benefits, USAID and other major food and drug companies will soon begin their first vitamin A fortification and distribution projects in India, Nicaragua, and Bangladesh. The plan will also be initiated in Zambia on May 13 with a program to fortify sugar. The US government will allocate $25 million for child survival programs.
