Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan

The Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Women and Child Development. It aims to strengthen healthcare for women and children by improving access, quality, and awareness.

Designed as a Jan Bhagidaari (people’s participation) effort, the programme brings together government bodies, private hospitals, and medical professionals to ensure healthcare reaches every part of the country.

The campaign aligns with India’s broader development goals and uses platforms like Anganwadis to extend its reach. It also supports other national programmes such as Mission Shakti, which focuses on women’s safety and empowerment, and Poshan 2.0, which tackles malnutrition among women and children.

As part of the Abhiyaan, health camps offered screenings for conditions including skin disorders, hypertension, anaemia, reproductive issues, breast and cervical cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and sickle cell disease.

They also held special counselling sessions in tribal regions to promote equal access to care.

The Health Ministry said the initiative was designed to close gaps identified in national surveys and ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.

The campaign, it added, represents a major step forward in improving women’s health across both urban and rural India.
