National De-worming Day & Distribute Albandazole Table to below 19 years Students


Posted on 18/09/2024

All children and youngsters in the 1-19 age group in the State will be administered albendazole tablets on February 8 as part of National Deworming Day in order to eliminate parasitic worms or soil-transmitted helminths, which can interfere with nutrient uptake in children and can contribute to anaemia, malnourishment, and impaired mental and physical development.
