(MENAFN) A health official has stated that a growing number of children in Fiji have been suffering from anaemia symptoms fairly as a result of receiving a decreased amount of care from employed mothers.
Fiji has recorded an increased number of working mothers, which might be the source of a raise in children affected with the disease, as suggested by National Advisor for Non-Communicable Diseases Isimeli Tukana.
Fiji's national adviser Tukana called for working mothers to notify baby sitters to different matters related to their children, such as the kind of nutrition they wished their children to receive.
The advisor urged "you need to tell the baby sitter and the house girl how to feed the child; otherwise, the child will become more of the baby sitter and the house girl than the mother."
He added "there has to be some negotiation inside, particularly nutrition, you have to clearly plan and tell the house girl or the baby sitter, this is what you have to feed my children, morning, lunch and dinner before I come back from work."
