The Social Welfare department does regular growth monitoring of each and every child at AWC and identified children with SAM are refered to the NRC.
Doctors at OPD identify children with SAM and refer them to the NRC.
Special Camps may be arranged by the NRC staff to identify children with SAM and refer to the NRC.
