[The contribution of the Department of Health in overseas diet and nutrition].
This article reminds the contribution of Health and Medical Services in overseas territories and other developing countries. Seconded to Health Services, Pasteur Institutes, other scientific research Organisations, and International Organisations (FAO, WHO), medical doctors and pharmacists, properly trained in nutrition, have studied under-nutrition and malnutrition, and their effects on the health of the populations and the economy of their countries. Later, in cooperation with all departments concerned, they have realised a number of applied programmes, aiming at a real improvement in the situation or even the eradication of nutritional deficiencies. However the article deals mainly with actions related to food production and distribution, from the establishment of a national food policy to agriculture planning and evaluation, including specific, applied nutrition programmes in agriculture development and supplementary feeding programmes.
