Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren announced on Wednesday that the state government is preparing a comprehensive health database to identify prevalent diseases among women, men, and children in different regions. This will allow the government to provide targeted healthcare facilities where they are most needed.
The announcement was made during the launch of the state-level 'Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar' (Healthy Woman, Empowered Family) campaign at Sadar hospital, an event also attended by Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar.
Soren said his administration has been working to improve the state's healthcare sector. "A database is being prepared to identify the types of disease symptoms found among women, men, and children in different regions and areas within the state, so that we can pinpoint and provide healthcare facilities there," he said.
The Chief Minister added that his government is focused on improving the state's health infrastructure. "Our government has decided to build RIMS-2, an extension of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi, which would start soon. We have already launched a programme to deal with sickle cell anaemia in the state," he stated.
The 15-day campaign, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Madhya Pradesh, aims to enhance women’s healthcare services and promote nutrition awareness, running from September 17 to October 2.
Soren praised the campaign, stating that women play a significant role in the family, society, and nation. "If they remain healthy, the upcoming generation will also be healthy. Our government has been working for women's empowerment through various schemes," he said, adding that women have showcased their strength and skills in every field, from space exploration to education and sports. "This is the time to think about empowering women economically, socially and educationally. Our government has been working in this regard," he added.
Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar also thanked the Prime Minister for launching the health awareness programme for women, noting that it outlines the direct link between women's empowerment and nation-building. Majhi concluded by saying that the campaigns reflect the government's vision to ensure a clean environment, women's health, and family safety.
