Mission Indradhanush: Leveraging Lessons From The Polio Success Story
Abstract:
Highlights: 1. Government of India partnering with WHO, UNICEF and other partners is leveraging the knowledge and infrastructure built during the polio campaign to step up routine immunization. This campaign, called Mission Indradhanush is targeting coverage for the seven vaccine preventable diseases. 2. 2000 doctors and field monitors who were working with the WHO on the Polio eradication programme are now part of the nationwide initiative to vaccinate all unvaccinated and partially vaccinated children, under the Universal Immunization Programme by 2020. 3. Strengthening routine immunization will ensure a decrease in the incidence of deaths due to these seven vaccine preventable diseases. Also the high population immunity against polio will help maintain the polio-free status of the South East Asia Region. #Mission #Indradhanush #Polio #Disease
