Key Focus Areas of Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan
1. Preventive Health Screenings
The campaign offers free screenings for diseases such as:
- Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension
- Cancers including breast and cervical cancer

- Tuberculosis and sickle cell disease
These screenings help in early detection and timely treatment, reducing health risks for women and families.

Voluntary blood donation camps and awareness programmes encourage citizens to actively take part in improving health standards.
