The Udupi district administration has announced plans to administer deworming tablets to around 7.8 lakh children in a bid to combat intestinal worm infestation. The initiative is part of a larger government program aimed at improving the health and well-being of children across the region.
The deworming tablets will be administered to children between the ages of 2 and 19, with a focus on those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The program is expected to have a significant impact on the health and education outcomes of children in the region, as intestinal worm infestation can lead to malnutrition, anemia, and other health complications.
