6.51 crore citizens in just 12 days! That's incredible reach. The cancer screening numbers are particularly impressive - early detection can save so many lives. Hope this becomes a regular feature across all primary health centers.

While the numbers look impressive, I hope the quality of care matches the quantity. In our camp, there were long queues and limited time with doctors. The intention is good, but execution needs improvement in some places.

The focus on women's health is much needed in our country. Screening 31 lakh women for breast cancer and 16 lakh for cervical cancer can make a huge difference in early detection and treatment. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
