National Deworming Day is an initiative aimed at educating and treating children at risk of parasitic infections, particularly worm infestations. Through mass deworming campaigns, the government aims to significantly reduce the prevalence of parasitic infections among children.

On this day, children in schools and communities are provided with deworming tablets to eradicate any potential parasitic infections. Regular deworming is crucial for maintaining children's health and preventing long-term complications from parasitic infections.

The National Deworming Day also emphasizes the importance of hygiene practices such as washing hands before meals and after using the toilet to prevent re-infection. By raising awareness and providing treatment, the initiative aims to improve the overall well-being of children across the country.
