Over 95 lakh people get medication for filariasis in UP

Lucknow, Feb 27 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh has made significant progress in its fight against filariasis as 95.97 lakh people have already taken the prescribed medication as a part of the Mass Drug Administration (MDA) campaign, conducted across 14 districts, official sources said here on Thursday.
Sources said that to ensure complete coverage, the remaining beneficiaries, out of the targeted 1.10 crore, will be given the medicine during a mop-up round by March 4.
"The effectiveness of the campaign is evident from the significantly low number of families refusing the medication, marking a major step toward the state’s filariasis eradication goal," they said.
