Manual Baby Weighing Scale

$1.00
 A Manual Baby Weighing Scale is a simple, mechanical device used to measure infant weight without the need for electricity or batteries. Operating on a spring or balance principle, it features a suspended sling or seat and a dial display. Its primary advantage is durability and portability for use in community health, outreach programs, and areas with unreliable power. While less precise than digital scales, it provides a reliable and accessible means to monitor growth trends and screen for undernutrition in resource-limited settings, making it a vital tool for basic pediatric care in the field.

MUAC Tape

$1.00
 A MUAC Tape (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) is a specialized, color-coded measuring tape used globally as the primary field tool for screening children aged 6-59 months for acute malnutrition. Its simple design—featuring red, yellow, and green zones corresponding to Severe Acute Malnutrition, Moderate Acute Malnutrition, and normal nutritional status—allows for instant, non-invasive assessment without the need for scales, calculation, or literacy. Durable, portable, and inexpensive, it is the cornerstone of community-based nutrition programs, emergency relief efforts, and public health surveillance, enabling early detection and life-saving intervention for malnourished children in even the most resource-constrained settings.
