The program screened more than 36 million citizens for noncommunicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and various cancers. The campaign started on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. Officials expect screenings to surpass 40 million by Oct. 2. The health camps provided services for breast cancer, cervical cancer, oral cancer, anemia, tuberculosis, and Sickle Cell Disease detection. Authorities established 179,000 Ayushman Arogya Mandirs as primary health contact points for citizens. Nadda noted that institutional delivery rates climbed from 79 percent to approximately 90 percent. The government provides incentives for ASHA workers, and free transportation for expectant mothers.
