Description
A study on children of parents working in brick kilns in Guwahati (Assam) revealed that 22.3 per cent of the kids have not been administered the polio vaccine. The survey, titled Multi Urban Location Study on Safe and Healthy Environment of Young Migrant Children Living in Worksites was conducted by international development organisation Aide et Action and the Bernard van Leer Foundation. The study has painted a dismal picture of children living in brick kilns. The survey has revealed that 53.4 per cent families living in brick kilns do not have immunisation cards, 19.93 per cent brick kilns do not have first-aid facilities, doctors do not visit 75.5 per cent kilns and only nine per cent pregnant women visit health centres for check-ups.
