NutriSUS Program: Who Qualifies and What You Get

The NutriSUS Program is a framework provided by the health ministry to help manage child nutrition through structured micronutrient supplementation protocols.

👤Who it's for

This program is specifically intended for nutritionists who are working within daycares (creches). It is designed to support these professionals in their roles as they manage the dietary health and nutritional requirements of young children in a childcare setting.

🎁What you get

Nutritionists under this program gain access to formal micronutrient supplementation protocols. These protocols are structured guidelines used to ensure that children receive the necessary nutritional support required for their development. By following these established paths, nutritionists can implement standardized care for the children in their charge.

💰What it costs you

There is no monetary fee to participate in this program. However, the process requires administrative time and effort to manage documentation. Specifically, you will be responsible for obtaining and managing parental consent forms to ensure that each child's supplementation is authorized by their legal guardians.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important requirement for the success of this program is strict adherence to the dosage schedule. Because these protocols involve the supplementation of micronutrients, following the specific timing and amounts provided in the guidelines is essential for the safety and effectiveness of the nutritional support.
