Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to launch the Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan on September 17, 2025, coinciding with his 75th birthday. This ambitious nationwide campaign aims to boost healthcare services specifically for women and children across India, with a strong focus on better access, quality care, and increased awareness. The initiative represents a key pillar in the government’s vision of inclusive and equitable healthcare for all.
Key Highlights Of The Initiative
The Abhiyaan will run from September 17 to October 2 and includes the organisation of 75,000 health camps at Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, Community Health Centres (CHCs), and other healthcare facilities across the country
These camps will provide essential health services tailored to the needs of women and children, addressing gaps in preventive and primary healthcare
Alongside, Poshan Maah (Nutrition Month) will be observed at all Anganwadi centres promoting nutrition, health awareness, and overall well-being in rural and tribal populations
The campaign emphasizes the importance of Jan Bhagidaari Abhiyan (people’s participation) with calls for private hospitals and healthcare stakeholders to actively support the efforts
National Impact And Government Vision
The ‘Nari Sashakt Abhiyaan’ aims to build healthier families and empowered communities by focusing on gender-specific health challenges and child care
