Reduce gaps in routine immunisation: DC

NAMSAI, 21 Jul: Namsai DC CR Khampa urged the district task force on immunisation (DTFI) to “work in synergy to reduce the gaps in routine immunisation (RI) and achieve the targeted goal in the district.”

Chairing a meeting on RI and Mission Indradhanush here on Friday, the DC also stressed the need for “convergence and community participation,” and advised other HWCs to “emulate the activities of the Dharampur HWC, which is the only centre in the district to have been granted NQAS certification.”

Expressing happiness that ANC registrations have improved manifold in the district, the DC said that the “HWOs of the areas where institutional delivery is low should publicise the merits and should do a gap analysis.”

DRCHO Dr Yomcha presented the action taken report following the last DTFI meeting, besides the field monitoring reports.

Emphasising the importance of correct baseline data collection, he said: “No household should be left out during head count survey, and IMI should be marked.”

The HWOs were asked about their performance and the issues faced by them.

The DMO, DTFI members, health programme officers, MOs and HWOs also attended the meeting. (DIPRO)
