Minister for Youth Empowerment and Sports K.C. Narayana Gowda stressed the need for conducting health check-up camps regularly for the benefit of people, particularly women.
He was speaking after inaugurating free health check-up camp at Mc Gann Hospital in Shivamogga on Monday. Many women would be hesitant to consult a doctor voluntarily. Free health campus would help them in getting treatment. In a health camp conducted in Mandya, 900 women were diagnosed with issues related to the uterus. If such camps were held free regularly many would come forward to undergo tests so that they could be treated, he said.
The Prime Minister had given importance to yoga in the interest of the health of common people. Sports activities and yoga would improve health quality. The department was contemplating yoga centres at village level, the minister said.
