Revision history [back]

Dear Arjen,

Thank you, you made a very good point.

Deworming campaigns make very good sense with ODF communities. While deworming an entire community could be ambitious, in the other hand deworming all the school children and children below 5 years old can be achievable.

This can be achieved integrating CLTS with health campaigns by Health department with support of WHO and UNICEF (deworming campaigns in schools, polio campaigns are frequently associated with deworming as well, as Polio viruses are transmitted mainly by faecal–oral route). (Routine immunization and public health campaigns)

Through school deworming activities and public health campaigns then it can be possible to reach out communities and families and disseminating messages on the importance of the practice and encouraging at the same time parents and adults to do the same.

So definitely this is an approach worth to implement in partnership.

Thanks,

Debora
