Shimla: As part of the MCHRMNA (Mother and Child, Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal and Adolescence) anaemia project, the Department of Health’s MCHRMNA section workforce Kelsang Chodon visited the Tibetan settlement in Shimla for three days to screen and create awareness on anaemia from 21 to 23 April 2023.
Accompanied by her colleague Pema Tsering, the two coordinators screened STS Shimla schoolgirls to check anaemia in their blood. A total of 23 girls were screened during the campaign. The programme also included a health awareness lecture on anaemia and the well-being of adolescents for the school girls as well as a public overview of the RMNCH-A programme.
