Village health nurses observe fast
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Members of the Tamil Nadu Village Health Nurses Association went on a day-long fast in front of the State Guest House in Chepauk protesting the revised immunisation strategy.
Wearing black badges, they raised slogans against the policy of getting mothers and children to come to the PHC for vaccination.
It was clearly anti-women and anti-children, considering it took services away from them and instead forced them to travel long distances to access healthcare.
Alleging ulterior motives in transferring the load borne by the health sub centres at the village level to the PHCs, they demanded that the policy be given up immediately. State president of the association P. Nirmala led the protest.
