Background: India accounted for more than 50% of polio cases globally. India therefore started the intensive pulse polio immunization (IPPI) in 1995. The national immunization days (NID) were on 28th January and 11th March 2018. The objectives of this study were to determine the completeness of pulse polio immunization round on 28th January 2018, to evaluate the reasons for non-compliance of the community towards the vaccination round, to assess the demographic profile amongst the unvaccinated children.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 570 children of zero-five years were checked in major areas of Pune that is Katraj Zoo, Swargate, Saras baug and a school in Dhankawadi. The data was collected after the first round of PPI by viewing the ink mark on the left little finger nail of the child or by interviewing the parents. SIA monitoring chart was used to assess the completeness of immunization campaign. Statistical analysis: Microsoft Excel were used to calculate percentages.Results: Out of 570, 69 (12.1%) were unvaccinated with the highest number seen in nursery that is 28 (40.6%). Amongst the unvaccinated (n=69), 40 (57.9%) were males. In the unvaccinated children (n=69), 13 (18.84%) and 56 (81.15%) belonged to age group of  zero-two years and two-five years respectively. Reasons for being unvaccinated were 29(42%) parents were unaware of time and place of PPI, 21 (30.4%) were outside Pune and 19 (27.5%) were unwilling due to false beliefs..Conclusions: Awareness should be increased about benefits of PPI through mass media, local leaders and teachers to enhance community participation. The authorities’ in charge of the PPI should be informed regarding areas lacking significant coverage so that they can be concentrated upon during subsequent PPI rounds ultimately contributing to eradicate poliomyelitis.

Independent polio immunization campaign monitoring is carried out to assess the quality and impact of supplementary immunization activities. It is critical in guiding any necessary mid-course corrections if gaps or problems are found. The need of the hour is to maintain this status by continuing the immunization activities without any discrimination based on caste, creed, sect, state or religion. It was a great sight to witness the Polio workers in the interiors of the country doing a great job to make INDIA proud and continue as a POLIO ELIMINATED COUNTRY. All the credit goes to these workers who tirelessly cycles and walks withstanding the rain and sun that made India a POLIO FREE country. Objective of this article is to highlight some of the observations by a WHO external monitor posted in a District of Tamilnadu.

Abstract: Obesity is a problem throughout the world and is commonly found among women in the region of Southeast Asia. Obesity in pregnant women increases the risk of complications associated with an increasing incidence of caesarean section and a decreasing incidence of vaginal delivery. This study aimed to determine the comparison of caesarean section and vaginal delivery in pregnant women with obesity. This was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. This study used data of the patients’ medical record. Samples were all pregnant women with obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) at the end of pregnancy who underwent caesarean sections and vaginal deliveries in Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January 2014 until October 2015. The data were processed by using the Microsoft Excel. The results showed that the number of pregnant women with obesity was 926 and of pregnant women who underwent caesarean section was 50.22%. Pregnant women with obesity in the age group over 30 years, nutritional status obese II and III, and body weight over 85 kg were more frequent in undergoing the cesarean section. Conclusion: The higher BMI, body weight, and age of a pregnant woman, the higher risk of undergoing cesarean section compared to vaginal delivery. Keywords: BMI, obesity, caesarean section, vaginal delivery   Abstrak: Obesitas merupakan masalah yang mendunia dan paling banyak dialami oleh wanita di wilayah Asia-Tenggara. Obesitas pada wanita hamil meningkatkan risiko terjadinya komplikasi yang berhubungan dengan peningkatan angka kejadian persalinan seksio sesarea dan penurunan kejadian persalinan pervaginam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan persalinan seksio sesarea dan pervaginam pada wanita hamil dengan obesitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan pendekatan potong lintang. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melihat catatan rekam medis pasien. Sampel penelitian ialah seluruh wanita hamil dengan obesitas (IMT ≥ 30 kg/m2) pada akhir kehamilan yang menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea dan pervaginam di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado dari bulan Januari 2014 sampai Oktober 2015. Data yang diperoleh diolah dengan menggunakan Microsoft excel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah wanita hamil dengan obesitas 926 orang dan yang menjalani seksio sesarea sebanyak 50,22%. Wanita hamil dengan obesitas pada kelompok umur di atas 30 tahun, status gizi obes II dan III, serta kelompok berat badan lebih dari 85 kg lebih banyak menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea. Simpulan: Semakin meningkat IMT, berat badan, dan usia seorang wanita hamil, maka semakin tinggi risiko menjalani persalinan seksio sesarea dibandingkan pervaginam. Kata kunci: IMT, obesitas, seksio sesarea, persalinan pervaginam
