Sana’a – The Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Department at the University of Science and Technology (UST) in Sana’a inaugurated today the graduation project defenses for senior-level female students as part of the graduation requirements from the Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics Program for the academic year 2025/2026.
The graduation project presented by the students—Hamas Al-Baadani, Ruba Al-Ghabari, Houriya Muharram, Maryam Al-Khawlani, Ruqayya Nahshal, Aya Salah, and Hanan Al-Damashqi—focused on moderate acute malnutrition among children under 5 years old in Yemen and its prevalence rates according to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. It provided necessary recommendations to improve food quality and offered practical solutions to improve children’s health by innovating a safe, ready-to-use supplementary food product to treat moderate acute malnutrition in children of this age group, designed in accordance with WHO / UNICEF standards (Innovation of Ready-to-Use Supplementary Product to Treat Moderate Acute Malnutrition in Children of Yemen).
The defense committee, comprising Prof. Dr. Mansour Ghaleb and Dr. Nabil Al-Haj, praised the level of the project presented by the students, emphasizing that it offered practical solutions to the problem of child malnutrition in Yemen. They added, “Child malnutrition in Yemen is an important and critical issue, and we hope that relevant authorities will adopt and support these projects to turn them into actual products that contribute to improving children’s health in Yemen and raising community awareness about the importance of healthy, balanced nutrition.”
The defense session was attended by the Head of the Department, Dr. Duaa Mutahar, and a number of female faculty members in the department.
