DHAKA, Sept 25, 2019 (BSS) – Mohila Awami League, women wing of the ruling Awami League, today congratulated Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for winning the prestigious “Vaccine Hero” award in recognition of Bangladesh’s outstanding success in vaccination.

The government formulated a time-befitting and modern health policy and carried out vaccination programme for all children of the country. That is why asthma and child mortality rates have declined significantly, the statement added.
