Health Ministry launches anaemia tests, CPR awareness at IITF pavilion

Stepping up its public health push, the Health Ministry has rolled out anaemia testing camps and CPR awareness sessions to help citizens recognise health risks and respond effectively during cardiac arrests.

The facilities will be open to the public from November 14 until the close of the 44th India International Trade Fair (IITF) in New Delhi on November 27.

Unveiling the Health Pavilion at the Trade fair, Union Health Secretary, Punya Salila Srivastava said, “The pavilion offers insights into India’s health system and a range of ongoing programmes. Several services, including CPR awareness sessions and anaemia testing, are being provided. I urge everyone to visit and make full use of these facilities.”

She further added that the Ministry is advancing several key initiatives aimed at achieving national health goals and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals.

“The Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyan, recently launched, aims to reach 11 crore people. Alongside this, initiatives such as the Tobacco Control for Youth Programme, the TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, and the national campaign for organ donation are progressing simultaneously,” she noted.

This year’s pavilion, themed “स्वस्थ भारत श्रेष्ठ भारत” (Swast Bharat, Shresth Bharat), highlights the Ministry’s central role in shaping health policies and delivering comprehensive healthcare services to build a healthier and stronger nation.
