Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Jagat Prakash Nadda launched the National STOP Diarrhoea Campaign 2024 at a function in New Delhi.

• He launched the campaign by distributing oral rehydration salts (ORS) and zinc tablets to children in presence of Minister of States for Health Anupriya Patel and Patraprao Jadhav.
• The two-month campaign will begin from the 1st of July and continue till the 31st of August.
• The goal behind the STOP Diarrhoea Campaign is to attain zero child deaths due to childhood diarrhoea.
• While the existing diarrhoea strategy entailed a two-week campaign, the new strategy involved a two-month long campaign with the pre-positioning of two ORS packets and zinc as a co-packaging for under-5 children.
