Dear Colleague,



USAID's Global Health eLearning Center (www.globalhealthlearning.org<http://www.globalhealthlearning.org>) is pleased to announce the release of a new eLearning course on Nutrition. Research shows that inadequate maternal and child nutrition is the underlying cause of 3.5 million deaths every year and 35 percent of the disease burden for children under 5 years of age.



However, universal coverage of proven nutrition-related interventions could reduce overall mortality of children under 3 by 25 percent.



Are you familiar with the basic concepts of good nutrition? How does nutrition affect maternal and child health? What are common nutritional deficiencies, vulnerable groups, and the causes of undernutrition?


Register for the Global Health eLearning Center to take the course, Nutrition: An Introduction, and learn about the major population-based interventions to improve nutritional status. You can also read the latest Knowledge for Health blog post, USAID Global Health eLearning Adds to Its Catalog with a New Course on Nutrition<http://www.k4health.org/blog/usaid-global-health-elearning-adds-its-catalog-new-course-nutrition>.



See you online,

The Global Health eLearning Center Team
