While I appreciate the efforts, I hope there's proper follow-up on these campaigns. Last year's health initiatives didn't reach my village until 6 months after launch. Implementation is key!

Mission Madhuhari sounds interesting! As someone with diabetes in the family, I'm curious to know more about this campaign. Will there be awareness programs in schools too?

Finally some attention to breastfeeding support! Those 29 management units will help so many new mothers. The reproductive medicine department is also much needed. Thumbs up! 👍

"Diseases do not come by themselves; we invite them" - powerful words from CM. Lifestyle changes are indeed crucial. Maybe next they can tackle junk food availability near schools?
