Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

Protein‐based supplementation at the community level (e.g., milk and/or egg) prevented weight faltering in 71.7% of children. Early diagnosis and timely treatment in primary healthcare services prevented stunting in 75.6% of cases. Among stunted children referred to regional hospitals, 43.6% recovered within 6 months with FSMP for catch‐up growth. This
