Percentage of children age 6-59 months given deworming medication in the last 6 months

Definition:

  • Percentage of children age 6-59 months given deworming medication in the last 6 months refers to a public health metric used to track the prevalence of deworming medication administration among young children. Deworming medication eliminates intestinal worms, which can cause malnutrition and other health problems in children. This metric is important for monitoring the effectiveness of public health programs that aim to control intestinal worm infections in children. These programs typically involve mass administration of deworming medication to children in at-risk communities.
