The Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts have initiated a massive deworming program for children in the age group of 1-19 years. The program aims to administer deworming tablets to over 7.8 lakh children in the region.
The deworming program is a part of the government's efforts to provide a healthy environment for children to grow and develop. Worm infestations can lead to malnutrition, anemia, and other health issues, which can have a lasting impact on a child's life.
The administration of deworming tablets is expected to have a positive impact on the overall health and well-being of the children in the region. It will also help in reducing the prevalence of worm infestations and related health issues.
