THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE (SHRI A. RAJA)
(a) The State-wise number of cases of acute diarrhoeal diseases, whooping
cough, measles, acute respiratory infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis and
meningococcal meningitis during the period 1997-99, as reported by the Central
Bureau of Health Intelligence is at Annexure-I. These include cases in
children. The National programme for Control of Blindness does not collect data
regarding blindness among children due to measles, pneumonia, meningitis and
malnutrition. The State-wise nutritional status of children reported in the
National Family Health Survey 1992-93 and 1998-99 are given at Annexure-II and
III respectively.
(b) to (d) The World Health Organisation does not implement any child health
programme directly in any State. However, this organization provides technical
inputs to the ongoing Reproductive and Child Health programme, which is being
implemented in all States. World Health Organisation and UNICEF are also
providing technical and some financial inputs for the Pulse Polio Immunization
programme, which aims to eradicate poliomyelitis from all States and Union
Territories. In addition, UNICEF is collaborating with Government of India and
State Governments in implementing certain specific programmes details of which
are at Annexure-IV.
The interventions for improvement of child health being implemented under
the Reproductive and Child Health Programme include immunization against six
vaccine preventable diseases (including elimination of neonatal tetanus and
control of measles); control of diarrhoeal diseases and acute respiratory
infections; provision of essential newborn care; and prophylaxis and treatment
of iron deficiency anaemia and vitamin A deficiency. Exclusive Breastfeeding
and appropriate complementary feeding practices are being promoted to improve
the nutritional status of infants.
In addition, supplementary feeding programmes including the Integrated
Child Development Scheme, Special Nutrition Programme, Balwadi nutrition
programme are being implemented to improve the nutritional status of the
population, including children.
