The Integrated Helminth Control Program aims to reduce the prevalence of intestinal helminth infections, particularly among preschool and school-aged children in the Philippines. Common helminths include Ascaris, Trichuris, and hookworm, which can lead to serious health issues such as malnutrition and poor development. The program focuses on deworming activities and implementing water, sanitation, and hygiene strategies to achieve a target infection rate below 20%.
