MAHASAMUND: Chhattisgarh’s Child Health Program (Chirayu) is proving to be a lifesaver for children suffering from health problems since birth. The aim of this scheme is to examine and cure four types of health problems in children like defects at birth, disability, developmental delay, and deficiency.
An official communiqué said that under the program, children between 0 and 18 years of age studying in Anganwadis or government and government-aided schools can reap the healthcare benefits.
A target has been set to conduct preliminary health checkups of all children enrolled in all Anganwadis twice a year and of children studying in all government schools once a year.
The scheme has proved to be a boon for 874 children in the Mahasamund district so far, which include 126 cases of cleft lip and palate, 195 club foot cases, 82 congenital cataract cases, 21 neural tube defect cases, and 450 cases of congenital heart disease.
9 mobile healthcare teams are operating in the district for identifying the children. Two doctors, 1 pharmacist, 1 lab technician, and 1 Auxiliary Nurse and Midwife (ANM) have been posted in each team.
