Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF)
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) can cure up to 90% of children with uncomplicated malnutrition.
Malnutrition leads to weak immune systems, opening the door for deadly illnesses like malaria, pneumonia and measles. Impaired growth and brain damage is possible. Most of the damage is done before a child reaches two years of age.
With your help, MSF can use RUTF to save lives by providing the essential vitamins, minerals, fat and proteins children need to survive and grow properly. Formulated in a peanut-milk paste that children find tasty and easy to eat, RUTF helps mothers provide nourishment for their children.
