The CMAM approach includes:
- Community outreach for community involvement and early detection, referral of cases of acute malnutrition and follow up of problem cases,
- Management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in outpatient care for children 6-59 months without medical complications,
- Management of SAM in inpatient care for children 6-59 months with medical complications and children under 6 months with acute malnutrition,
- Management of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) for children 6-59 months,
- The comprehensive CMAM model links with maternal, newborn, and child health and nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, food security and livelihood, and other community outreach initiatives.
CMAM is also referred to as IMAM (Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition) or CTC (Community-based Therapeutic Care)
