Doctor Maigari is head doctor at the Therapeutic Feeding Centre in Tillaberi, Niger and sees on a daily basis the impact of malnutrition on children. Established by Islamic Relief in 2005, the health centre provided nutritional support to hundreds of children suffering from severe malnutrition and their mothers during the food crisis. Now that the crisis is over the centre also offers medical care for children suffering from a range of health problems. But there are still large numbers of children being treated every month for malnutrition.
