34 Lakh Women Screened for Health Issues in Statewide Initiative

In a significant health initiative, approximately 34 lakh women have undergone screenings for various health issues throughout the state. This effort is part of the Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan, as announced by the state’s Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav. He made this declaration during a visit to a medical camp in Nunna, located in NTR District, on September 28, 2023.

The screenings focus on eight health conditions, including blood pressure, blood sugar levels, oral cancer, cervical cancer, and uterine cancer, among others. Since the program’s launch on September 17, 2023, a total of 16,000 medical camps have been set up across the state to facilitate these essential health checks.

The initiative aims to empower women and promote better health awareness. Minister Yadav emphasized the importance of early detection and prevention of health issues, noting that the screenings will continue until October 2, 2023.

The response from the community has been positive, with many women taking advantage of the opportunity to access vital health services. By providing these screenings, the government aims to reduce the prevalence of serious health conditions and improve overall public health in the region.

As the initiative progresses, officials will monitor the program’s impact, hoping to encourage more women to participate and prioritize their health. The ongoing effort highlights the need for accessible healthcare services and the commitment to promoting women’s health across the state.
