Scope

Main Technical Content: Part I: Professional Level Evaluation Standards for Maternal and Infant Nutritionists Chapter I: General Provisions 1. Career Prospects To adapt to social and economic development, China has issued the "Healthy China 2030 Plan" and the National Nutrition Plan, advocating for professional associations to conduct professional level evaluations. The country urgently needs to develop the health industry, which requires a large number of professionals and many training institutions to cultivate talent. However, these trained professionals need to be evaluated by professional associations. To actively support the implementation of new national vocational evaluation policies, the Guangdong Provincial Nutritionist Association decided to further develop professional level evaluations for "Maternal and Infant Nutritionists" on the basis of the "Guangdong Public Nutritionist Level Evaluation" work. In recent years, China has about 20 million newborns annually. The country may soon abolish the family planning policy, and the next few years will witness the fourth wave of China's baby boom. Maternal and infant health is a focus of every family. Raising a healthy and intelligent baby requires many conditions, with balanced nutrition being a fundamental, necessary, and most important requirement. Therefore, the profession of maternal and infant nutritionists has emerged, and social demand for this profession will continue to grow. 2.
