Cervical Cancer Screening: “A simple screening test today can make a life-saving difference tomorrow.”
Introduction Cervical cancer screening is a medical test used to identify changes in the cells of the cervix before they develop into cancer. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases of cervical cancer are associated with persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Regular screening helps detect HPV infections or abnormal cervical cells early, allowing timely treatment and reducing the risk of cervical cancer.

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the joints. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, causing inflammation in the lining of the joints.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): "Healthy kidneys, healthier life—protect them before problems begin.”
Introduction Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), also known as Chronic Renal Disease, is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. The disease develops slowly over time and often goes unnoticed in its early stages because symptoms may not appear until significant kidney damage has occurred.

Obesity: “Your health is your greatest wealth—take care of it.”
Introduction Obesity is one of the fastest-growing health concerns worldwide and has become increasingly common in India.
