Deworming drive to benefit 7.8 lakh children in DK, Udupi
By ETF Desk
The Karnataka government's deworming drive is set to benefit around 7.8 lakh children in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. The drive, which is a part of the state government's efforts to improve the health and well-being of children, aims to provide deworming tablets to school-going children in both districts.
The deworming drive is a crucial initiative, especially in rural areas where access to healthcare facilities is limited. The drive will help in reducing the incidence of worm infestations among children, which can lead to various health problems, including anaemia, malnutrition, and stunted growth.
The deworming drive is expected to have a significant impact on the health and well-being of children in both districts. By providing deworming tablets to school-going children, the government is taking a proactive approach to prevent worm infestations and promote good health among children.
