Malnutrition Awareness Week™ (MAW) is an educational campaign founded in 2012 by ASPEN to address the critical issue of malnutrition in healthcare, especially among hospitalized patients. The campaign’s success has elevated malnutrition as a global health priority and inspired other organizations to initiate similar awareness efforts.
With the support of organization ambassadors, corporate sponsors, and collaboration with like-minded societies, MAW has expanded its global presence, engaging millions of healthcare professionals, policymakers, patients, and caregivers.
Each year, ASPEN hosts a week of educational webinars and provides complimentary clinical tools and patient resources to help identify, treat, and prevent malnutrition.
Malnutrition Awareness WeekTM is a mark of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN).
