Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin recently inspected a specially equipped mobile medical vehicle designed for women’s cancer screening. The initiative is part of the state government’s ongoing efforts to promote early detection and prevention of cancer among women, especially in rural and underserved areas.
Under this new health scheme, the government has allocated ₹40 crore for the purchase and operation of 38 mobile medical units. These vehicles will soon be deployed across the state to provide on-the-spot cancer screening and basic diagnostic services for women.
Each mobile unit is equipped with modern diagnostic tools such as mammography machines, Pap smear testing facilities, and equipment to detect breast and cervical cancers at an early stage. The vehicles will be staffed by trained doctors, nurses, and lab technicians, ensuring that even women in remote villages have access to essential preventive healthcare.
Speaking on the initiative, chief minister stalin emphasized the importance of early detection in reducing cancer-related deaths among women and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to strengthening tamil Nadu’s public health system. He also stated that the mobile screening units will bridge the healthcare gap between urban and rural populations.
The launch of these 38 mobile medical units marks a significant step in the state’s mission to make comprehensive cancer screening and treatment accessible to all women, regardless of their socio-economic background.
