Immunisation Programme is one of the key interventions for protection of children from life threatening but preventable conditions. Because of poverty related reasons, immunisation of new born and other children gets distracted as most of the community people are from marginalised background. Thus, such Programme has been initiated in the Rural Hospital of Sabuj Sangha. The inhabitants who are catered belong to two blocks namely Patharpratima and Mathurapur II, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India and do not have access to proper medical facilities as the areas are quite remote and isolated. The infant mortality is high due to malnutrition and improper immunisation.
Mamoni, wife of Balaram of Mahabbatnagar village of Nandakumarpur GP, gave birth to her first child and it was a normal delivery. Her newborn male child is 2kgs 750gms of weight. He is a healthy child. He had his first immunisation injection of vitamin-K (K-Nat 0.5) after one hour of the delivery.
