In UNICEF's child survival and safe motherhood strategy, the three 'F' components added to the original GOBI package are:
- A Family planning, Female literacy, Food fortification
- B Free immunization, Family welfare, First referral units
- C Food supplementation, Female education, Family spacing ✓
- D Food security, Facility-based care, Follow-up visits
Correct answer: C. Food supplementation, Female education, Family spacing
Explanation
GOBI stands for Growth monitoring, Oral rehydration therapy, Breastfeeding and Immunization. The expanded GOBI-FFF adds Food supplementation, Female education and Family spacing, recognizing nutrition, women's status and birth interval as determinants of child survival. Option A is tempting because female literacy and family planning sound similar, but the standard formulation uses education and spacing, as listed in Park's textbook.
