The
schemes/programmes/funds launched/ released to check high child mortality rate
during the last three years and the current year, are as under:
To sharpen the
focus on the low performing districts, 184 High Priority Districts (HPDs) have
been identified for implementation of Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child
Health+ Adolescent (RMNCH+A) interventions for achieving improved maternal and
child health outcomes.
India Newborn
Action Plan (INAP) was launched in 2014 to make concerted efforts towards attainment
of the goals of “Single Digit Neonatal Mortality Rate” and “Single Digit
Stillbirth Rate”, by 2030.
Newer
interventions to reduce newborn mortality have also been implemented,
including- Vitamin K injection at birth, Antenatal corticosteroids in preterm
labour, Kangaroo Mother Care and empowering ANMs to provide Injection
Gentamicin to young infants for possible serious bacterial infection.
In order to
increase awareness about the use of ORS and Zinc in diarrhoea, an Intensified
Diarrhoea Control Fortnight (IDCF) is being observed during July-August, with
the ultimate aim of ‘zero child deaths due to childhood diarrhoea’. During
fortnight health workers visited the households of under five children,
conducted community level awareness generation activities and distributed ORS
packets to the families with children under five years of age.
National Iron
Plus Initiative (NIPI) - To address anaemia, NIPI has been launched which
includes provision of supervised biweekly iron folic acid supplementation by
ASHA for all under-five children and biannual deworming.
National
Deworming Day (NDD)- Recognising worm infestation as an important cause of
anaemia, the first National Deworming Day (NDD) was observed on 10th February,
2015 in 11 States/UT targeting all children in the age group of 1-19 years
(both school enrolled and non-enrolled). Total of 8.98 crore children received
deworming tablet (Albendazole) during the National Deworming Day. The same will
be observed on an annual basis.
Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram
(RBSK) has been launched (Feb 2013) to provide strategic interventions to
address birth defects, delays and deficiencies and reduce out of pocket
expenditure for the families on treatment by expanding the reach of mobile health
teams at block level and establishing District Early Intervention Centres
(DEICs) in the districts.
An estimated 27 crore children in the
age group of zero to eighteen years are expected to be covered in a phased
manner. 13.3 lakhs have received free treatment including surgeries for
congenital heart disease, cleft lip and correction of club foot etc.
Birth Defects Surveillance System
(BDSS) is being established - to serve as a tool for identifying congenital
anomalies. It is as a collaborative effort between the MoHFW, GoI, WHO and CDC.
Mission
Indradhanush: Launched on 25th December, 2014, seeks to drive toward 90% full
immunization coverage with all vaccines in the entire country by year 2020 with
a high focus on the 201 identified districts.
Mission
Indradhanush Phase II has begun in 352 districts across the country (279 medium
priority districts + 33 districts from North Eastern States + 44 districts from
Phase I districts where large number of missed out children were detected
during monitoring of phase I of Mission Indradhanush).
The
Health Minister, Shri J P Nadda stated this in a written reply in the Rajya
Sabha here today.
