Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday launched AMLAN (Anaemia
Mukta Lakhya Abhiyan) -- a multi-pronged approach for accelerated
reduction of anaemia among targeted groups.
Launching
the programme on a virtual platform, the Chief Minister said it is the
state's own programme for making the state free from anaemia, especially
women and children.
The programme will be carried out by several
departments including Health & Family Welfare, School & Mass
Education, Women & Child Development, Mission Shakti and ST & SC
Development.
The programme will benefit about 1.37 crore people,
which includes pregnant women, lactating mothers, women of reproductive
age group, adolescents and children, he said.
Patnaik further
said that the major interventions under the programme are strengthening
iron and folic acid supplementation, testing for haemoglobin, treatment
of anaemic cases, capacity building of service providers and social
behaviour change communication.
This programme will be rolled out
in 55,000 government and government-aided schools and 74,000 Anganwadi
Centres across the state, he informed.
"All our endeavours are
focussed on the principle that every life is precious. The state
government has prioritised development of the health sector in our
state," said the Chief Minister.
With intensive focus on public
health schemes, Odisha has shown improvement in many health indicators
like immunisation, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio,
infant and young child feeding practices, and under-nutrition.
However, anaemia remains a major public health challenge across the country, he added.
The
Chief Minister urged the concerned departments and on-field service
providers to work in a concerted manner for successful implementation of
AMLAN for achieving Anaemia Mukta Odisha.
On this occasion, Patnaik also released the operational guidelines for AMLAN.
