The main objective of this study was to identify malnourish children (severe) from 1 day to 6 years old from 12 clinics in Kota Bharu via mapping the location of children with USM Growth Monitor and Geoinformation System {GIS).In this study, data collection was done through the "USM Growth Monitor" online system produced in this study.

Birth weight and length data according to children age were converting to nutritional status using Epilnfo programme (Epi Info'" Version 3.4).
