1. India steps up the effort towards
complete immunization
By any statistical standard,
India holds the distinction
of having pretty dismal
health standards which
have to be conquered with
collective effort and focus at
the highest level. Indian
government is dedicated to
putting an end to
preventable diseases and
has launched a deadline of
complete immunization by
2017. Let’s take a look at
the complete scenario step
by step.

diseases and adult vaccination
facilities
• Lack of co-ordination with varied
stakeholders
