Raipur (thestates.news) | The ambitious initiative of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, “Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar” (Healthy Women, Empowered Families), has set new benchmarks in Chhattisgarh. In the past fortnight alone, over 31,000 health camps were organized across the state, benefitting nearly 22 lakh people with screening and treatment services. Significantly, the majority of participants were women, underscoring a growing awareness of health in rural areas. This participation reaffirms the campaign’s core belief that when women are healthy, the entire family and society are strengthened.
In these camps, women’s health, nutrition, and anaemia checks were given top priority. Over 5 lakh anaemia tests were conducted, reflecting the government’s resolve to address this long-standing issue among women. Pregnant women underwent ANC check-ups, children were vaccinated, and screenings were held for hypertension, diabetes, TB, cancer, and sickle cell disease. As a result, 1.91 lakh pregnant women were screened, 2.72 lakh underwent sickle cell tests, 3.72 lakh were tested for TB, and more than 67,000 children were vaccinated.
