Summary

This study tests if giving less therapeutic food and requiring fewer clinic visits can still effectively treat severe acute malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months in Kenya. About 2,274 children from 45 health facilities will be assigned to different treatment plans to compare recovery, costs, and safety. The goal is to find a cheaper, easier approach that works just as well, helping more children get the care they need.
