MAGA Guatemala, an official account dedicated to agricultural and food security issues in Guatemala, published a series of tweets on November 8, 2025, focusing on public health initiatives and nutrition programs.
In a post from November 8, 2025, MAGA Guatemala emphasized collective responsibility in disease prevention: "Prevenir el #GusanoBarrenador es tarea de todos, recuerde estas tres acciones claves que ayudarán a evitar esta enfermedad."
Later the same day, the account reported on a government decision regarding malnutrition: "Durante la séptima reunión extraordinaria del #CONASAN se aprobó el Plan de Lucha contra la Malnutrición 2025–2028."
In another tweet posted on November 8, MAGA Guatemala detailed efforts to provide food assistance: "Garantizamos la asistencia alimentaria a todos los guatemaltecos que más lo necesitan, por ello, de enero a octubre entregamos más de 533 mil raciones de alimentos. "
The referenced Gusano Barrenador is a parasitic pest affecting livestock in Central America. Government campaigns in Guatemala have focused on education and coordinated action to prevent its spread. CONASAN (Consejo Nacional de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional) is the national council responsible for overseeing policies related to food security and nutrition in Guatemala. Plans like the one approved for 2025–2028 are part of ongoing national strategies to address chronic malnutrition and ensure food access for vulnerable populations.
