Why was this decision necessary?
This decision is also important because a large population of Jharkhand lives in remote villages and mountains. There is a high risk of anemia and genetic diseases. In sickle cell anemia, red blood cells start getting damaged, causing a lot of pain and weakness. At the same time, in Thalassemia, blood is not produced properly in the body.
Their testing is expensive, but now that the government has taken the responsibility, it is expected that patients will be identified quickly in every village and they will be able to get treatment at the right time.

This step of the government shows that their focus is now shifting from ‘treatment after falling ill’ to ‘early detection’. When testing will be free, people will not hesitate and will come forward and get themselves checked. This will also help in protecting the coming generations from these diseases.
What do you say?
Friends, health is real wealth. If the government is taking responsibility for public health, it should be appreciated. This will provide relief to thousands of families who were burdened with expensive medical fees.
