Haryana Health Department would launch an intensive diarrhoea control campaign from July 15 to 30 under which ORS and Zinc packets would be distributed to about 26.5 lakh children below five years of age in all houses in the state.
This was informed in a meeting of State steering committee of different departments held under the chairmanship of Principal Secretary, Health Department, Raja Sekhar Vundru, here on Thursday.
He said that the aim of this campaign is to ensure that no deaths are caused by diarrhoea. Children could be secured only by controlling diarrhoea, he added.
Vundru said that under this campaign, high risk areas such as construction sites, slums and far flung areas would be identified where ORS and Zinc packets would be distributed.
