Abstract

This paper reports experiences seeking to strengthen health teams capabilities, and the importance of adults and elderly nutritional care protocols. It reports two well-succeeded experiences on local health assistance, with the close participation of health teams and a clear definition about action strategies. On this context, the local nutritional care could be optimized by a set of protocols, clear diagnose criteria definitions on initial assessment procedures, different therapeutic approaches, and follow-up strategies, adapted to local condition.
