The average cure rate of malnourished children treated at health centres in Uganda's Arua District is approximately 50 per cent, far below international standards, suggesting deficiencies in the quality of health care. The study evaluated the impact of supportive supervision for health staff and whether it improved health outcomes of malnourished children.
