Bihar CM Launches Statewide Doorstep Health Screening Campaign

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on September 2, 2026 launched the ‘Screening and Treatment – Healthcare at Your Doorstep’ campaign at the Urja Auditorium in Rajvanshi Nagar, Patna. He also flagged off awareness vans for all 38 districts of the state. The campaign will run from September 2 to November 30, 2026.

Addressing the gathering, Choudhary congratulated the Health Department for launching the initiative and said the campaign aims to ensure timely detection and treatment of diseases rather than waiting for them to become serious. “Get yourself screened so that you do not fall ill. Timely detection of a disease is essential for proper and effective treatment,” he said.

Under the campaign, citizens aged above 30 will be screened for diabetes, hypertension, common cancers, heart disease, respiratory and lung disorders, and fatty liver disease. Health workers will conduct preliminary examinations and provide consultations at people’s homes. Those requiring further treatment will be referred to Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, district hospitals and other appropriate healthcare facilities.
