    This document provides guidelines for assessing and treating severe acute malnutrition in children. It outlines whether treatment should be inpatient or outpatient, the feeding assessment process, discharge criteria, and follow-up procedures. The key steps are: 1. Determine if the child should receive inpatient or outpatient treatment based on their medical assessment and appetite. 2. For outpatient care, provide ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) at 200 kcal/kg/day and educate caregivers on breastfeeding. 3. Follow-up weekly to monitor recovery indicators like weight and appetite until discharge criteria are met.
