Kure appealed to nursing mothers to adhere to exclusive breast feeding for the minimum of six months after delivery, to enhance the health status of the new born.

In his speech, Chairman of the local council, Mr Ben Kure, urged the residents to allow their children and wards under five years, to be immunized.

Earlier, the council’s Director, Primary Health Care, Mrs Esther Lat, urged mothers and care givers to allow their children to be immunised.

According to her, women are the worst affected in the event of any outbreak of diseases including polio.

Lat called on them to maintain high sanitary standard, to rid themselves of communicable diseases.
