Overview
In April 2026, Vivek Sanjivani — the Healthcare and Education initiative of Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service, Varanasi — continued its mission of community welfare through a series of mobile medical camps focused on Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) screenings. The programme aimed to extend preventive healthcare services directly to rural and underserved populations, overcoming barriers of distance, affordability, and access that often impede timely medical attention.
The camps provided screenings for conditions that frequently go undetected in the absence of accessible diagnostic facilities, offering early identification and the opportunity for timely intervention for individuals who might otherwise remain outside the reach of organised healthcare services.
Geographic Coverage
The April 2026 camps extended their reach across four districts in two states, with particular attention to regions designated as Aspirational Districts by the Government of India.
| State | Districts Covered | Special Status |
|---|---|---|
| Uttar Pradesh | Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, Prayagraj | Sonbhadra — Aspirational District |
| Uttarakhand | Udham Singh Nagar | Udham Singh Nagar — Aspirational District |
Screening Activities
The mobile health units were staffed by trained healthcare professionals and equipped with modern diagnostic tools. Screenings were primarily conducted for individuals aged 30 years and above, targeting early detection of the following conditions:
- Hypertension (HTN)
- Diabetes Mellitus (DM)
- Oral Cancer (OCE)
- Breast Cancer (BCE)

Conclusion
The NCD Screening Medical Camps organised by Vivek Sanjivani in April 2026 reflect the sustained commitment of Ramakrishna Mission Home of Service, Varanasi, to preventive healthcare in rural and underserved communities. By prioritising early detection across geographically dispersed and resource-limited areas — including two Government-designated Aspirational Districts — the initiative contributed meaningfully to improving health-seeking behaviour and expanding equitable access to diagnostic services among vulnerable populations.
