LUCENA CITY - Senator Grace Poe congratulated Governor David Suarez on his relevant project - the Q1k or Quezon first 1,000 days - officially launched on Monday at the Quezon Convention Center.
Poe said in her speech that such program will greatly benefit young children and will help lessen malnutrition in the country.
Q1K, a project designed to take care of a child's first 1,000 days (from the time he/she is conceived up to two years of age) is conceptualized by Gov. Suarez to address the high number of malnourished children in the province.
He implemented inclusive programs of Q1K including monitoring of the child in the womb by providing vitamins and regular check up of the mother and giving supplemental food to the child up to his/her two years.
Poe said this project can eradicate malnutrition if implemented in the entire country. She noted that 29,000 children die every year due to mulnutririon. She said with Q1K, the mother is assured of a healthy offspring and child death toll will dramatically drop down.
Poe assured Suarez of her support in securing budget for Q1K in the Senate, and urged him to submit the full program dynamics of said project.
The launching of Q1K was attended by all municipal mayors of Quezon province, barangay health workers and village officials. (Belinda M. Otordoz/PNA)
