The Punjab government will launch a new initiative under which health teams will check the blood pressure, sugar, body mass index, and basal metabolic rate of 3 crore people for early detection of diseases, Health Minister Balbir Singh said on Saturday.
A pilot project in this regard will commence from Patiala in which 1 lakh people will be diagnosed first, he told reporters. Singh said both government and private doctors will join the initiative. “Many people do not know what their sugar or blood pressure (BP) is,” he said while stressing the importance of early detection of diseases. The minister also said Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will dedicate 76 more Aam Aadmi clinics on August 14 to mark the 76th Independence Day, taking the total number of such operational clinics to 659.
