India cuts number of unvaccinated children by 43% in a year: WHO report
India reduced its number of 'zero-dose' children, those who didn't receive even a single vaccine, by 43% in a one year, according to a new global report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and 2023, India had about 16 lakh such children. That number dropped to 9 lakh in 2024, marking a reduction of nearly 700,000 unprotected improvement is a part of a larger positive trend in South Asia, where vaccination rates have reached record highs. In 2024, 92% of infants in the region received their third dose of the DTP vaccine, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough — a 2% increase from 2023 and higher than even pre-Covid UNICEF's South Asia Regional Director, Sanjay Wijesekera, called it a proud moment and credited health workers and better planning for the success. However, he also stressed that efforts must continue to reach children in remote and underserved report also highlighted that measles vaccination has improved in the region. About 93% of infants received the first dose, and 88% got the second, helping to reduce measles cases by 39% in 2024. But experts say 95% coverage is needed to prevent outbreaks of this highly contagious more than 14 million children still missed all vaccines last year, about the same as in 2023, and nearly 6 million more got only some doses, leaving them only partially protected. India is one of nine countries that account for over half of these unvaccinated children, alongside Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, and report warns that access to vaccines remains unequal, especially in areas facing conflict or humanitarian crises. It also raises concerns about misinformation and cuts in international aid, which may reverse the gains made so far. WHO chief Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that false claims about vaccine safety and reduced funding could undo decades of hard work.'The latest estimates highlight a really concerning trajectory,' Dr. Kate O'Brien, director of WHO's Department of Immunisation, Vaccines and Biologicals, said in a news briefing.'The global vision is for everyone everywhere to benefit from lifesaving vaccines,' she said. 'But we've hit this very stubborn glass ceiling, and breaking through that glass to protect more children against vaccine-preventable diseases is becoming more difficult.'Encouragingly, India and Pakistan are expected to begin their HPV vaccination campaigns later this year, aiming to protect girls from cervical cancer. Other countries like Bangladesh have already vaccinated over 7 million the progress is promising, experts say the mission is not over. More than 2.9 million children in South Asia are still un- or under-vaccinated. Continued effort, awareness, and support are crucial to ensure that every child is protected from preventable diseases.- EndsMust Watch

Foeticide suspicions rise as Haryana reports 1,153 late abortions in 3 months
GURGAON: Haryana has recorded 1,153 abortions beyond 12 weeks of pregnancy across its 22 districts in just three months, raising concerns about possible female foeticide as the cases were found to involve couples with one or more daughters. The figures - compiled by the special task force monitoring the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act - have prompted the health department to order an investigation into the cases. Additional chief secretary (health) Sudhir Rajpal has asked all districts to register pregnancies and scrutinise late-term abortions, particularly in cases where couples already have daughters. Civil surgeons will spearhead these investigations. The govt has also formed its own team of senior medical officers and surgeons to verify these cases. Officials said they were particularly concerned about terminations in the second trimester as it coincides with the period when foetal sex can be illegally determined through ultrasound. District-wise data shows Ambala leading with 104 cases, followed by Faridabad (96), Jind (93), Panipat (86), Sonipat (76), Kaithal (73), Karnal (69), Jhajjar (64), Hisar (57), Gurgaon (54), Kurukshetra (50), and Charkhi Dadri (49). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 요즘 SNS에서 핫한 그 반지, 기부로 받을 수 있다고? 굿네이버스 더 알아보기 Undo You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon "The officials assigned to probe the termination of pregnancies will report to the National Health Mission headquarters and assist in auditing RMNCH+A (reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health) indicators. They will also review these second-trimester abortion records, with a particular focus on compliance with the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act and PCPNDT Act," a senior health official said. The high number of terminations comes at a time when 13 of Haryana's 22 districts have reported a decline in sex ratio at birth. Last year, the state's overall ratio dropped to 910 - its lowest since 2016. Several districts under scrutiny, such as Ambala, Jhajjar, Sonipat, and Panipat, have historically shown skewed sex ratios. Health officials acknowledged that while abortion was legal till 20 weeks of pregnancy and under certain conditions, procedures conducted beyond 12 weeks often triggered suspicions of female foeticide in areas with a track record of gender bias. "In the wake of the latest figures, we cannot rule out the possibility that many of these abortions may have been sought after illegally determining the foetal sex. This requires immediate investigation," an official said. The govt investigation, officials said, will examine whether registered MTP centres follow proper documentation and referral protocols, and identify any illegal clinics operating covertly.

PCPNDT case: Hospital officials get clean chit
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat high court quashed criminal proceedings against a homeopath and six trustees of a hospital in Bhavnagar district who faced charges under the Pre-conception and Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994. After an inspection by health department officials at Samarpan Hospital in Talaja town, criminal proceedings under Sections 3 and 26 of the PCPNDT Act were instituted before a JMFC court against a homeopath, Bhupat Chopda , and trustees of the hospital for allegedly carrying out tests for sex determination of a fetus. All seven accused persons approached the HC, and their advocate, Aditya Choksi, contended that there was no evidence of sex determination or any pre-natal diagnostic procedure during the inspection. Chopda, a BHMS practitioner, was found using a Doppler device. The sonography machine was operational in an adjacent room, but no diagnostic activity was established. They also argued that the trustees were named accused without including the Samarpan Seva Trust itself, violating established legal precedent. It was also contended that the homeopath utilised a Doppler device to monitor the fetal heartbeat, a practice which per se does not fall within the ambit of "pre-natal diagnostic procedures" as statutorily defined. After hearing the arguments, Justice J C Doshi stated, "The initiation and continuation of prosecution against Dr Bhupat D Chopda is not legally sustainable and is liable to be quashed." The HC also quashed the case against the trustees because the hospital was not made an accused in this case.
