Prevalence of Worm Infection
Children aged 1 to 19 years
(preschool and school-age
children) are at-risk of
parasitic intestinal worm
infections, known as Soil
Transmitted Helminths (STH).
Worms can cause anemia and
nutritional impairment, thereby
impairing mental and physical
development.

Effects of Worms = Debilitating1
Transmission of worm infections1:
• Ingestion of infected eggs or larvae contaminating food,
hands, or utensils
• Penetration of the skin by infective larvae
contaminating the soil
Common consequences of intestinal worms:
Intestinal bleeding, impaired iron status, anemia
Malnourishment / malabsorption of nutrients, loss of appetite
Stunted growth
Impaired mental and physical development and cognition
Exhaustion and poor concentration
Weakened immune systems

Complementary Ways of Addressing Worm Infections
Short Route
Approach
Objective
Deworming drug
administration via
NDD
Treatment:
• Reduce morbidity
• Reduce individual
worm burden
Long Route
Improved sanitation and
waste management
E.g., improving WASH facilities
in schools
Improved hygiene education and
awareness. Ex, delivered via
public health system, community
or schools
Prevention
• Control transmission
• Reduce reinfection
Long term actions require sustained commitment- financial and human resources, behaviour change and multiple efforts across departments, and therefore short term
actions - ‘Deworming’ are of critical importance
5
School/ Anganwadi based deworming &
fixed day approach
Safe
•
•
The WHO recommends
mass school-based
deworming as a safe
treatment for all preschool
and school-age children
There are no significant
side-effects of treatment
Why fixed day approach?
Cost-effective
•
School-based deworming
costs <50 cents per child per
deworming treatment,
earning it a ‘best-buy’ in
development rating by the
Copenhagen Consensus,
GiveWell, and the Abdul
Jameel Poverty Action Lab at
MIT (JPAL)
Scalable
•
Due to leveraging existing
school infrastructure, schoolbased deworming has the
potential to reach >80% of
pre-school and school-age
children
• An optimal mechanism cost effective way to high coverage
• Campaign style messaging can be leveraged to increase awareness
• Support structures could be in place to easily track and respond to any cases of adverse
events
• Mobilization of stakeholders is easy
• Effective monitoring
6
How to Treat Worm Infection?
• Albendazole syrup 5 ml (Half
Bottle 200 mg)/Half tablet for
children between 1 -2 years
• Albendazole tablet (400mg)
for children > 2 years
Left: Albendazole tablet, Right: Albendazole syrup
Albendazole is a safe drug for both infected and
non infected children and adults and has been
used to treat millions of people across the world
for STH
National Deworming Day-2015: Key Achievements
