Meal project boosts children's nutrition

ISLAMABAD:

The Prime Minister's Health Programme continues to make strides by providing nutritious meals to 65,000 students in federal government primary schools, aiming to combat malnutrition and promote better health among children.

The initiative, which supplies free lunch to the students, has shown promising results, including improved school attendance and significant enhancement in students' body mass index (BMI).

Meals are prepared in a central kitchen under strict hygiene standards, with 20 vehicles ensuring timely distribution across schools.
