Child nutrition monitoring and malnutrition treatment outcomes for Rwanda, 2019-2024, sourced from the Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) via Tables 3.6.1, 3.6.2, and 3.6.3 of the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025. Three topics: growth_monitoring (under-5 children screened for malnutrition by community health workers using weight-for-age: total screened, moderate malnutrition, severe malnutrition, and normal); hospitalization (inpatient malnutrition treatment outcomes at hospitals: new cases, recovered, lost to follow-up, died; by age group under-5 and 5-plus); outpatient (malnutrition treatment outcomes at health centers and health posts: new cases, old cases, recovered, referred to hospital, lost to follow-up, died; by age group). All tables are national level only.
