The Lumbini province has been declared a full vaccination assured zone amid a programme on Friday.
Lumbini Province Chief Amik Sherchan announced a programme held at the office of Rapti Rural Municipality in Dang.
On the occasion, he urged the stakeholders to pay special attention to the health issues related to children.
The province chief attributed the particular success to the diligence and perseverance of the health workers. He also highlighted the need for reforms in the education sector.
Sherchan further noted that five provinces were yet to be declared full vaccination assured zones due to a lack of proper knowledge among grassroots level citizens on vaccines.
Also speaking at the programme, the Minister for Health, Population and Family Welfare of the Lumbini Province Indrrajeet Tharu claimed there was a fear of malnutrition among the children due to inadequate information on vaccines at the community level.
On the occasion, various individuals including District Coordination Committees Chiefs and health workers were feted in recognition of their substantial contributions to making the province full vaccination assured zone. ---
