On September 16, 2023, Union Health Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, along with Prof. SP Singh Baghel, Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, will lead a pledge for Organ Donation at GIC Ground, Agra. Approximately 10,000 individuals are anticipated to commit to organ donation in Agra.
Dr. Mandaviya will also unveil a state-of-the-art specialty block at Sarojini Naidu Medical College, Agra, and introduce an organ donation registry. To register for organ donation, individuals only need their Aadhar number and linked mobile number. On the same day, Dr. Mandaviya will lay the Foundation Stone for 23 Integrated Public Health Labs and 87 Block Public Health Units in Agra.
Following this, a ‘Seva Pakhwada’ for the comprehensive delivery of essential health services will be launched, running from September 17th to October 2nd, 2023. The ‘Ayushman Bhav’ campaign, inaugurated by the Honourable President, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, on September 13, 2023, is set to revolutionize healthcare accessibility and inclusivity nationwide. This will be implemented during the ‘Seva Pakhwada’, embodying a whole-of-nation and whole-of-society approach. The core objective of the Sewa Pakhwada is to extend comprehensive healthcare coverage to every village and town, transcending geographical barriers and ensuring that no one is left behind.
This synergistic approach aims to saturate coverage of health services through its three components:
- Ayushman – Apke Dwar 3.0: This initiative aims to provide Ayushman cards to remaining eligible beneficiaries enrolled under the PM-JAY scheme, ensuring that more individuals have access to essential health services.
- Ayushman Melas at HWCs and CHCs: These Melas at Ayushman Bharat- HWCs and CHCs will facilitate the creation of ABHA IDs (Health IDs) and issuance of Ayushman Bharat Cards. They will also offer early diagnosis, comprehensive primary health care services, teleconsultation with specialists, and appropriate referrals.
- Ayushman Sabhas: These gatherings in every village and Panchayat will play a pivotal role in distributing Ayushman cards, generating ABHA IDs, and raising awareness about vital health schemes and disease conditions, such as non-communicable diseases, tuberculosis (Nikshay Mitra), sickle cell disease, as well as blood donation and organ donation drives.
The Ayushman Bhav campaign aims to ensure saturation coverage of all health schemes. It unites government sectors, civil society organizations, and communities under a common mission to ensure that every individual receives essential health services without any disparity or exclusion.
