Nutrition drive for newborn, pregnant women
Under the Integrated Reproductive Maternal Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition Programme (IRMNCH & NH), the Primary and Secondary Healthcare Department has inaugurated "Nutrition Week" formally at Wah General Hospital.
Under the Mother and Child Health and Nutrition Programme (IRMNCH & NP), the teams will reach children and pregnant women in the door-to-door drive.
The week is observed with the primary objective of promoting awareness about a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet among children, adolescent girls aged 10 to 19 and pregnant women.
As part of this campaign, the lady health workers would conduct door-to-door visits to identify children suffering from malnutrition, anaemia or other health issues.
