The Gujarat government has decided to launch a healthcare scheme under which all the people above the age of 30 years in the state will be screened for the detection of various ailments, such as diabetes and cancer.
The scheme, named "Niramay Gujarat" (Healthy Gujarat), will be launched by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel.
The scheme will cover more than 3 crore people in the state.
The people above the age of 30 will be screened at government healthcare centers and hospitals free every Friday and a card containing findings and health status will be given to the beneficiaries.
