Multi-Institutional Collaboration Strengthens Impact
In addition to the vast network of National Health Mission (NHM) camps, institutions such as AIIMS, other Institutes of National Importance (INIs), tertiary care hospitals, Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, medical colleges, and private healthcare providers played a critical role. These facilities hosted thousands of specialty health camps, offering advanced screening, diagnostic, counselling, and treatment services, thereby amplifying state-level and community-based health efforts.
Largest Women and Child Health Initiative in India
The Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan is India’s largest-ever health outreach programme for women and children. The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the Ministry of Women & Child Development (MoWCD) jointly spearheaded the campaign and implemented it across Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, Community Health Centres (CHCs), District Hospitals, and other government facilities. The campaign aimed to deliver preventive, promotive, and curative health services tailored to women and families at the community level, ensuring that it reached everyone.
Strengthening Early Detection and Preventive Health
As reported by pib.gov.in, the Abhiyaan focused on strengthening screening, early detection, and treatment linkages for major public health concerns—non-communicable diseases, anaemia, tuberculosis, and sickle cell disease. It promoted maternal, child, and adolescent health through antenatal care, immunisation, and nutrition support. It also focused on menstrual hygiene education and mental health awareness.
Encouraging a Healthier Lifestyle Nationwide
Beyond disease screening, the campaign mobilised communities towards healthy lifestyle practices. It placed special emphasis on obesity prevention, balanced nutrition, physical activity, and voluntary blood donation.
A Milestone for Women’s Health and Family Well-being
The Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan has united ministries, institutions, and communities. This collaboration has redefined India’s approach to women’s and family health. Its large-scale success demonstrates the power of coordinated public health action. It has promoted awareness, improved accessibility, and empowered millions across the nation.
