For four days, health professionals, students, policymakers, and researchers engaged in passionate debate and dialogue as part of the IAEA International Symposium on Understanding Moderate Malnutrition in Children for Effective Interventions. The conference, which was held in the IAEA's Vienna headquarters from 26-29 May, brought together participants from 65 countries to reflect on challenges and solutions in the field of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM).?
Among those attendees were four nutrition experts whose travel expenses to the conference, and in some cases research and equipment, were provided by the IAEA. Those experts are Bee Suan Wee of Malaysia; Nadine Koulibali of Burkina Faso; Dora Inés Mazariegos Cordero of Guatemala; and Junuzovic-Kaljic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We asked them about their work and the relevance of the MAM Symposium.
