REPORT
ON THE EVENT- NATIONAL DEWORMING DRIVE
Date-22nd
and 23rd September,
2022
Deworming drive was organized at St. Joseph's
College for Women, Visakhapatnam on 22nd September, 2022 in
collaboration with the State ministry for health and family welfare. The local
Health workers and the corporator took this initiative.
This was to distribute the deworming tablets to
intermediate and degree students.
Deworming is essential as many girls have the
problems of anaemia and lack of Hb despite consuming food.
This is because of worms that can be present in
these children.
Worms feed on the nutrients taken through diet and
there by the students lack Hb and become anaemic. This can also lead to hair
fall, lack of concentration and weakness.
As part of the drive 1058 students received tablets.
They include 427 – Intermediate, 346 from degree 2nd year, 225 from
degree 3rd year and 60 PG students. They received one each and
cautions were announced in every class.
This was done by council students and faculty
advisors ( Dr Anupama, Ms Sony, Ms. Veena, Dr Praveen, Dr Hadassah and Ms
Ramani Dhanaraj)
The drive will be repeated after 6 months.
