ABOUT OUR SERVICE
Giving Every Child a Healthy Start in Life
At the Family Planning Association of Malawi (FPAM), our Under‑5s Health Services are designed to protect, promote, and support the health and development of children from birth to five years. We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure children grow strong, healthy, and thriving.
Overview of Under‑5s Services
The first five years of life are critical for a child’s survival, growth, and development. FPAM provides comprehensive, child‑friendly, and affordable under‑5s health services that focus on prevention, early detection, and prompt treatment of common childhood conditions.
Our services support families to ensure children receive essential health checks, immunisations, nutrition support, and early medical care in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our Under‑5s Health Services Include:
Growth Monitoring and Development Assessment
We monitor children’s weight, height, and developmental milestones to ensure healthy growth. Early identification of growth or developmental concerns allows for timely support and referral.
Immunisation Services
FPAM offers routine childhood immunisations in line with national guidelines to protect children against preventable diseases and improve long‑term health outcomes.
Nutrition Counselling and Support
Our healthcare providers offer guidance on infant and young child feeding, including breastfeeding support, complementary feeding, and nutrition advice to prevent malnutrition and promote healthy growth.
Treatment of Common Childhood Illnesses
We provide diagnosis and treatment for common childhood conditions, including fever, diarrhoea, cough, and other minor illnesses, with referrals for advanced care when necessary.
Parental Education and Support
We empower parents and caregivers with knowledge on child health, hygiene, disease prevention, nutrition, and home‑based care to support their children’s well‑being.
