BANDIPORA: As part of Janjatiya Gaurav Pakhwada, the Health Department in convergence with the ICDS Bandipora organized special health check-up camps in Anganwadi Centres located in tribal areas of the district.
The camps were held in tribal areas of Gurez, C.A. Khan Bandipora, Ajas and Hajin blocks. Teams of Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) including Medical Officers, ANMs and Pharmacists conducted thorough health screening of children in the age group of 0-6 years.
During the camps, children were screened for anaemia, Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM), stunting, skin infections and developmental delays. Height, weight and MUAC measurements were taken and growth monitoring was done as per WHO standards.
Free medicines including Iron Syrup, Vitamin-A, ORS and de-worming tablets were distributed on the spot. Mothers and caregivers were also counselled on exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, dietary diversity through Poshan Vatika, personal hygiene and timely immunization. Children identified with health issues have been referred to the nearest Health and Wellness Centres and District Hospital Bandipora for further management.
The entire programme was successfully conducted under the close supervision of concerned Block Medical Officers (BMOs) and Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) with active support of Supervisors, Anganwadi Workers and ASHAs. The District Administration reiterated its commitment to provide quality health and nutrition services at the doorsteps of tribal communities.
