Abstract
Background: Village Health and Nutrition Day (VHND) has been observed in India as well as West Bengal. Objectives: The aim was to study quality of VHND sessions in North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal. Methodology: The descriptive, observational study was conducted in all 12 blocks of North 24 Parganas Health District. Two Sub-Centers from each Block were selected by simple random sampling. Interview of ANMs of total 24 VHND sessions were carried out by using semi-structured interview schedule. Epi-info (6 version) has been used to analyze the data. Results: All VHND sessions held according to micro-plan (100%) (n=24). Beneficiaries had been mobilized to session sites by ANM, 2nd ANM, ASHA and AWW in 04% (1), 25% (6), 17% (4) and 54% (13) sites respectively. Four key messages were being given to the beneficiaries in 75% (18) of VHND session sites; Due list available with ASHA/AWW was 88% (21). Conclusion: Continuous monitoring & supportive supervision in all levels, training of health workers, reallocation & infrastructure development may help in organizing quality VHND.
