Immunisation Programme is one of the key interventions for protection of children from life threatening but preventable diseases. Because of poverty related issues, immunisation of children gets distracted as most of the people in the community are from marginalised background. Hence, such a programme has been initiated in the Rural Hospital of SabujSangha. The inhabitants who are catered belong to two blocks namely Patharpratima and Mathurapur II, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India and lack proper medical facilities as the areas are remote and isolated. The infant mortality rate is high in these areas due to malnutrition and improper immunization.
Laboni, wife of Rabindranath of Lakshmijanardanpur village of GP Lakshmijanardanpur, gave birth to her first child through a normal delivery. Her newborn female child is 2kgs 250gms of weight. She is a healthy child. She had her first immunisation injection of vitamin-K (K-Nat 0.5) after one hour of the delivery.
