"When I was a PhD student in Nutrition there was very little content or time dedicated on adolescent nutrition. But the global sector is now recognizing the importance of this time in a person’s growth and development. I’m proud to have contributed to this new course on Adolescent Nutrition and Anaemia."

"As a global leader in nutrition, Nutrition International takes a 
'no missed opportunities' approach to ensure we are delivering the right nutrition at the right time. 
For too long, adolescence has been a missed opportunity. This course brings new knowledge and evidence to the global health sector, paving the way 
for critical advancements in adolescent nutrition.”

“Improving adolescent nutrition is key to ending malnutrition globally but a lack of data and understanding on adolescents’ specific needs has made it a low priority among health leaders. Recognizing this gap, Nutrition International’s world-renowned technical experts have built this course to deliver relevant and practical information for governments and organizations to deliver better, more-effective programs and interventions.”
