Neonatal tetanus had also been eliminated since 1996 and this in conformity with the definition of WHO. The measles monitoring system, with laboratory checking of more than 80% of suspicious cases, is evidence of the decline in the incidence of this illness to less than 1 case per 100,000 inhabitants. The absence of cases of deaths from measles since 1992 and the absence of confirmed cases of measles since 2002 also indicate the success of the national effort to eliminate this disease. 349. The efforts deployed in the area of vaccination had been strengthened, from 1995, with the introduction of the vaccination against Hepatitis B in the calendar of the first systematic vaccination of infants and in 2002 of the vaccination antihaemophilus B. These efforts made by the State, notably at the budgetary level, are aimed essentially at two main objectives: • • The control of major health problems; Equity (these two vaccines, up to then, were only given in the private sector). All these vaccinations are now provided free of charge at the level of the public sector. 350. The vaccination programme in the school environment is administered free of charge in all the public and private educational institutions. In 2004-05, the vaccinal cover in the primary schools was 99%, in the colleges and high schools 96% while that of Hepatitis B was 84%. 351. The national perinatal programme, implemented from 1990, had been enriched over the years. Besides the antenatal monitoring, the assisted deliveries, postnatal monitoring and the monitoring of growth established from the beginning, other components were added to this: • • • • • The promotion of pre-marriage consultation; The promotion of breastfeeding; The prevention and the control of anaemia in pregnant and breastfeeding women; The care and resuscitation of the newly-born; Preventive action against disability. 352. Thanks to the existence of at least one centre for maternal and infant protection per district ad the integration of the activites of maternal and child health (achieved in 90% of the total number of centres), almost all infants can benefit from care administered by qualified staff.
