The Central government concluded a three-day free health camp on Friday, screening over 1700 government officials and other staff from more than 16 ministries, according to officials from the Health Ministry.
Health parameters, including blood pressure, sugar, chest X-rays, and Body Mass Index estimations, were checked for officers, security personnel, housekeeping staff, and sanitation workers between July 22 and July 24 at the three blocks of Kartavya Bhawan.
The screening drives were organised by the Central TB Division (CTD) in collaboration with the Delhi State TB Cell, National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP), and the Swasth Nagrik Abhiyaan (SNA) Division of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
A team of 60 healthcare providers, including doctors, specialists, laboratory personnel, radiographers, nursing staff, and other programme officials, coordinated the seamless conduct of the camp, officials said.
The government stated that the major highlight of the camp was the deployment of two Ni-kshay Vahans equipped with Digital Chest X-ray, CBNAAT and TrueNat diagnostic facilities. These mobile diagnostic units enabled on-site TB screening, molecular testing and prompt referral of suspected cases, thereby strengthening efforts towards early detection and timely treatment under the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP).
The camp, named Ayushman Arogya Shivir, commenced at Kartavya Bhawan-I on 22nd July 2026 and was inaugurated by Aradhana Patnaik, Additional Secretary & Mission Director, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare. During the inauguration, she emphasised the importance of prioritising preventive healthcare and encouraging individuals to take proactive steps towards their health and well-being.
Officials said the health camp was subsequently organised at Kartavya Bhawan-II on 23rd July, where Shobini Rajan, Deputy Director General, Central TB Division, interacted with participants and highlighted the importance of early detection, timely diagnosis and preventive healthcare in achieving the vision of a TB Mukt Bharat.
The Shivir culminated at Kartavya Bhawan-III on 24th July 2026, ensuring wider outreach among government officials and employees across the three office complexes.
