PULSE POLIO TRAINING PROGRAM FOR SUPERVISORS OF A BOROUGH IN KOLKATA





A pulse polio training program, in preparation for the 10.01.2010 round was conducted by me for the supervisors of a particular borough in Kolkata, at my ward health unit on 24.12.2009. Twenty three out of forty one supervisors attended the programme. Issues related to supervisory activity, mobility of supervisors, wall markings, revisiting the households, conversion strategy, interpretation of vaccine vial monitor and documentation were discussed and an uniform strategy was adopted for the benefit of the program. The program was attended by my immediate superior officer, one of my doctor colleague and the internal WHO monitor of the borough. Hope the next round of pulse poio programme will be a success in this borough.
