A strip of plastic. A world of impact. A Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) band help MSF teams identify malnutrition and deliver urgent care. | Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

Mary Patrick feared the worst when her little boy fell sick. Malnutrition puts too many children at risk, but hope returned as his MUAC tape moved from red to green with the help of RUTF (Ready to use Therapeutic Food). With support from Sida - Styrelsen för Internationellt Utvecklingssamarbete, UNICEF Nigeria is working with Adamawa State Government to reach children affected by conflict with lifesaving RUTF, giving them the nutrients they need to recover and grow. | UNICEF Nigeria

Have you seen the MUAC tape? It’s a simple, color-coded tape that measures a child's Mid-Upper Arm Circumference to spot malnutrition early and keep children healthy. 💚 Green = well-nourished and thriving 💛/❤️ Yellow or Red = time to take action! | UNICEF Nigeria
