Well over six crore children in the age group of two years to 18 years living in the rural areas of Uttar Pradesh, considered the most vulnerable sections of society from the point of view of health care, are the focus of a new health programme called “Aashirvad Child Health Guarantee Scheme” launched here on Thursday. It will be implemented under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). Regular health check-ups, diagnosis and treatment of ailments form the core of the ambitious programme of the Samajwadi Party government.
