Kerala new health policy to make vaccination certificate mandatory for school admission


In an effort to ensure that all children below the age of five are immunised, the Left Front government in Kerala has made vaccination certificate mandatory for admission to class-I from the next academic session.

Health Minister K K Shailaja on Tuesday Feb 20,2018 said that the government is committed to achieving total immunisation in Kerala.

The state Cabinet on Tuesday ratified the draft medical policy, which, among others, proposes a standard treatment guideline covering all hospitals, including private medical institutions, to ensure “rationale, effective and affordable treatment”.

To increase transparency, private hospitals will have to publicise treatment procedure and cost of every treatment, according to the draft policy.
