Laljhadi Rural Municipality Launches Month-Long Health Campaign for Non-Communicable Diseases

Kanchanpur. Laljhadi Rural Municipality has launched a month-long special health campaign for the identification and timely treatment of non-communicable diseases.

'Under the 'Chairman's Special Health Program with Citizens', a team of health workers is conducting door-to-door health check-ups in various settlements of the rural municipality. As part of the campaign, residents are being screened for non-communicable diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, kidney-related ailments, and obesity, along with BMI measurements based on height and weight. The health branch stated that patients showing symptoms of tuberculosis are being referred to health institutions for further testing and treatment, and mental health counseling services are also being provided.

Under the 'Non-Communicable Disease Screening Campaign 2082', which is being conducted in all six wards of Laljhadi Rural Municipality, arrangements have been made to provide health services at the doorsteps of senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and those who lack access to healthcare.

According to Rural Municipality Chairman Nirmal Rana, the program was launched with the objective of bringing health services to the citizens' doorsteps rather than waiting for them to visit health institutions. He stated that the program includes health check-ups, counseling, medicine distribution, and referrals to health institutions for further treatment when necessary.

He noted that this campaign will contribute to the control and eradication of diseases such as measles, kala-azar, lymphatic filariasis, tuberculosis, diabetes, and leprosy.
