Nurses Diagnose Cancer and TB in Bhopal

In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, nurses and other health workers are screening people for cancer and tuberculosis at special health centers called Arogya Mandir.

These centers used to be called Health & Wellness Centres.

The nurses, who are specially trained, check for cancers like oral, breast, and cervical cancers, as well as tuberculosis.

After the screening, if someone needs more tests, they are sent to bigger hospitals.

There are about 10,000 of these trained nurses working in these centers.

The government says that women with cancer should be checked by women doctors to keep their privacy and dignity.

This is all part of a big health plan to help people stay healthy.
