folder about us back who we are work with us blog pediatric malnutrition treatment reimagined for scale we follow the evidence to save the lives of the world s most vulnerable children donate acute malnutrition is a leading cause of childhood deaths globally taimaka has reimagined pediatric malnutrition treatment by making it more cost effective and scalable we ve developed a treatment model that is 60 cheaper than legacy approaches simpler so that digitally enabled community health workers chws can deliver care directly to the most vulnerable communities 251 cost per child legacy approaches over 20 years ago public health experts developed an effective model for treating childhood malnutrition the problem is it s far too expensive the clinically complexities and high costs 251 per child of legacy treatment options mean that more than 75 of children go untreated in nigeria alone more than two million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition every year 1 5 million of those children do not get treatment resulting in 192 000 preventable deaths annually 94 cost per child taimaka s model taimaka has redesigned malnutrition treatment so that it can save more lives our model drops the average cost per child treated to just 94 a more than 50 reduction we do it by working through community health workers chws rather than doctors and nurses and leveraging cutting edge public health research we equip our chws with a digital tool to triage children ensuring world class quality of care we estimate it costs between 1 500 4 500 to save a life with our treatment program how we do it we build on the strengths of the existing healthcare system here s how it works step one community mobilization community mobilizers and community leaders travel to identify cases if they find cases of severe acute malnutrition sam they refer them to our clinics located in government primary healthcare facilities step two outpatient care we train community health workers chws and provide them with a simple digital tool to ensure consistent quality of care without having to rely on nurses and doctors these chws provide therapeutic foods medicines and vaccinations to help a child recover over the course of 6 10 weekly visits step three inpatient care some children have complications in addition to malnutrition like severe malaria or life threatening infections we transport these children to our inpatient care centers where nurses and doctors can stabilize them when these children are stable enough to return home they return to outpatient care taimaka combines the rigor of academia with the dynamism of a startup center for effective global action cega university of california berkeley we know it works strong evidence for acute malnutrition treatment we innovate upon the community management of acute malnutrition cmam model for treating cases in outpatient clinics using therapeutic food and medication cmam is recommended by unicef and can be highly cost effective as identified by givewell 21 500 cases treated we ve treated thousands of patients out of existing government clinics in gombe state nigeria check out our live data to see the number of cases we re treating right now 454 1267 lives saved we define a life saved as treating a child that would have died if taimaka s program didn t exist we estimate the number of lives we save using several statistical methods read our latest update on how we do this here subscribe to our newsletter sign up to receive updates on our expansion stories from the field and the latest findings from our research what s next expand our program to treat more children over the next three years we ll expand our program to treat more children across gombe state nigeria this expansion will allow us to treat 75 000 of the sickest children in the world while proving our model over a wider geographic area we ll expand by building on our current partnership the gombe state government with whom we partner to work out of existing government healthcare facilities bring our model to other organizations we want to go beyond our own program to reach more children with our model to do that we plan to bring our model to existing government programs and nonprofits that already treat 13 7 million children a year using outdated approaches we re planning to transform existing government programs with digitally enabled community health workers chws and simpler protocols to reach two million more children learn more join us save a life today every 94 in our program treats a child with acute
