危地马拉儿童营养问题亟待改善
Despite some achievements in improving living standards for children in Guatemala， UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake voiced concern for the welfare of an estimated 5，800 children still languishing in institutions throughout the country with little or no access to their families or alternative care.
“We cannot let the immensity of the problems discourage us from making progress – nor let the progress create complacency. We must accelerate it，”Mr. Lake said.
During his trip to Guatemala， Mr. Lake visited the city of Totonicapán to witness the ongoing efforts to reduce the country’s levels of malnutrition. In meetings with the President of Guatemala， Otto Pérez Molina， the Executive Director praised the country’s efforts to reduce its chronic under-nutrition by 10 per cent by 2015， adding that the UN would help the country accelerate its progress and build “robust child protection systems.”
