Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain announced that the city has completed all preparations to ensure no child is left out of the upcoming Vitamin A Plus campaign. Speaking at the inauguration of the capsule distribution program across 41 city wards on Sunday, he said Vitamin A plays a vital role in preventing malnutrition-related blindness, strengthening immunity, and supporting healthy physical growth.

According to the mayor, a total of 564,000 children aged 6–59 months will receive Vitamin A capsules through 1,321 centers in the city. Among them, about 92,000 children aged 6–11 months will receive blue capsules, while around 472,000 children aged 12–59 months will receive red capsules. Street children will also be included through mobile teams. He emphasized that children who received capsules within the past four to six months will not be given another dose.

Dr. Hossain urged parents to follow official instructions and bring their children to the designated centers so that no child misses this essential health service.
