|February 21, 2025
In view of the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases, the health ministry on Thursday launched an intensified special campaign to achieve 100% screening of all individuals aged 30 years and above for diabetes, hypertension and other NCD diseases and common cancers.
The campaign, which will run from February 20 to March 30, aims to ensure early detection and timely intervention for NCDs and three common cancers—oral, breast and cervical.
The initiative is expected to lower healthcare costs and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals across the nation, the ministry said.
The campaign will be executed across the more than 1.6 lakh Ayushman Arogya Mandirs (AAMs) and healthcare facilities, under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD).
