Record-Breaking Participation and Achievements
The Guinness World Records set are: highest number of people registered on a healthcare platform in one month (over 3.21 crore), largest number of online breast cancer screening sign-ups in one week (nearly 9.94 lakh), and the most online vital signs screening registrations at the state level in one week (approximately 1.25 lakh).
These remarkable feats were part of a massive campaign which organised 19.7 lakh health camps covering screenings for hypertension (1.78 crore), diabetes (1.73 crore), cancers (oral, breast, and cervical), tuberculosis (over 85 lakh women screened), sickle cell disease and anaemia, among others.
The campaign’s reach extended through collaboration with more than 20 government ministries, medical institutions, and community organisations, involving five lakh Panchayati Raj representatives, 1.14 crore students, and 94 lakh self-help group members, demonstrating nationwide engagement across urban and rural areas alike.
Background and Significance
The “Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan” launched within Poshan Maah (Nutrition Month), represents one of India’s largest integrated efforts in public health focusing on women, adolescent girls, and children. Its goals included not only improving health and nutrition outcomes but also ensuring access to essential healthcare services through early detection and awareness campaigns.
The initiative aligned with the government’s “Whole-of-Government” and “Whole-of-Society” approach, leveraging community participation from local governance bodies and volunteers to health professionals. It addressed key issues such as maternal and child health, nutrition counselling, immunisation, and non-communicable diseases, reflecting a transformative movement to strengthen India’s healthcare infrastructure and social support systems.
