June - Nutrition Month
The Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry has declared June as the 'Nutrition Month' under the direction of Healthcare and Nutrition Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva. This is aimed at upgrading the nutrition level of infants, children and mothers, a Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry spokesman said. He said Sri Lanka's infant and maternal mortality rate is very low when comparing with the other countries of the world but the people's interest in nutrition is very unsatisfactory. Due to this situation, people do not follow proper methods to preserve nutrition when preparing food.
