Scooping Ready to Use Therapeutic Food doses (RUTF) or Qavi Ghiza (Pashtu for “Strong Food”) into 90ml doses at the Forney Clinic located on Forward Operating Base (FOB) Farah, Mohammad Rahim Fiazi, the head registered nurse at Farah Hospital, Afghanistan, prepares for the upcoming Supplemental Feeding Program scheduled for Oct. 31, 2009, which will occur at Farah Hospital. The RUTF contains ground peanuts, sugar, cooking oil, powdered milk and children’s liquid vitamins and is designed to help malnourished children gain weight after roughly 30 days of treatment with the ultimate goal of helping the children in the program be restored to a state in which they can thrive on a healthy age-appropriate diet. The Supplemental Food Program was initiated by the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) Farah in June 2009. At first the food was mixed and packaged at Forward Operating Base (FOB) Farah and distributed at the Civil Affairs ran Special Operations Forces (SOF) Clinic just outside the FOB. Now the food will be mixed and distributed at Farah Hospital and the program will be managed and executed by the local doctors with little supervision by the PRT medical team.
