Healthy Future beings with Child Immunization.
World Health Organization (WHO)
Bhalukpong : 21 July
In a bid to strengthen child healthcare in rural Arunachal, the Nilvo Charity Foundation hosted a discussion with representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO) to address the concerning low immunization rates in Bhalukpong and Thrizino blocks.
The discussion saw the presence of Dr. Pallavi Koijam and Dr. Nomi Sakrinsow from WHO, along with ZPM Thrizino Shri Lekhi Sakrinsow and youth leader Shri Gandhi Jongthen, Vice President of ABDSU. The primary focus of the meeting was the critical role of child immunization in preventing serious and life-threatening diseases among children.
Despite the well-documented benefits of immunization, many parents in rural areas remain reluctant to vaccinate their children due to lingering misconceptions and lack of awareness. The group emphasized the collective responsibility of society to combat misinformation and improve vaccine coverage.
Shri Somi Nyebinsow Founder and CEO of Nilvo Charity Foundation assured full ground-level support in spreading awareness, facilitating immunization drives, and engaging communities through advocacy and education. The Foundation also pledged to work hand-in-hand with government bodies, health professionals, and local leaders to bolster the ongoing efforts.
The meeting concluded with a consensus on the urgent need for intensified outreach, community engagement, and targeted interventions in underperforming regions like Bhalukpong and Thrizino to ensure a healthier future for every child.
