The UNICEF child survival strategy known as GOBI-FFF includes all of the following components EXCEPT:

• A Insecticide treated bed nets for malaria prevention ✓
• B Female literacy
• C Immunisation against six vaccine preventable diseases
• D Oral rehydration therapy

Explanation

GOBI-FFF stands for Growth monitoring, Oral rehydration therapy, Breastfeeding, Immunisation, Female education, Family spacing (birth spacing) and Food supplementation. Insecticide treated bed nets are not part of this strategy; malaria control through bed nets became prominent later under Roll Back Malaria. D student who recalls only the four original GOBI elements may wrongly reject female literacy or food supplementation, so memorising the full seven-component acronym is what decides this item.
