Health camps were organised at Jan Aushadhi Kendras at 500 different locations across the country to take care of senior citizens and keep the traditions and cultures of the country intact. In these health camps, various medical checkups including blood pressure check, sugar level check, free doctor consultation etc. were conducted to spread awareness about the importance of health and Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP).
Today, 25 heritage walks were organised across the country including Hauz Khas, New Delhi. Shri Ravi Dadhich, Chief Executive Officer, PMBI led the walk in Hauz Khas, New Delhi on the morning of 2nd March along with other officials and centre owners.
