1 million screened across India at 500 health camps on 1 day

Agra, May 16: In what is perhaps a world record, a million people across 100 cities in India were screened at 500 health camps on a single day and provided tests and services worth Rs.15 crore ($2.5 million), an organiser said. The camps were held earlier this week and data relating to them has only now been compiled, said Sheetal Kapoor, an official of OXXY Swasth Bharat which organised the initiative. "Oxxy stands for Oxygen for the next generation aims at making health services transparent and making people aware about services available at various places in India and the comparative costs for availing of facilities," the founder of the organisation, which has four centres across the country, told IANS.
