GUWAHATI, July 31: Mission director, National Health Mission, Dr Ritu Thurr has said that the universal immunisation programme in India is one of the largest public health interventions in the world. He was speaking at the State Task Force meeting for Intensified Mission Indradhanush (IMI 5.0) and MR Elimination in Kohima on Friday.
