With the recent publication of "Effectiveness of Vitamin A Supplementation in the Control of Young Child Morbidity and Mortality in Developing Countries" as ACC/SCN Nutrition Policy Discussion Paper No. 13, we now know more about the type and degree of positive benefits of raising vitamin A status among deprived populations. After the findings of the meta-analysis became known in March 1993, work began on investigating the policy and programme implications.We hope that this document will serve to catalyse a better informed and invigorated drive to combat vitamin A deficiency and thus reduce its damaging and often fatal effects.
