More than half a million children in the country could be suffering from rickets, a debilitating disease associated with poor nutrition and lack of sunlight, officials said quoting a recent survey.
The National Rickets Survey 2008 based its estimate on its finding that 197 out of 20,000 children (0.99 per cent) had rickets, Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) reported.
