Karnataka’s flagship door-to-door health screening outreach Gruha Arogya has thrown up a stark district-wise health map, revealing not just the scale of silent illnesses but also deep regional variations in diagnosis rates.
The programme, implemented through ASHA workers who covered 41,92,801 households between August 2025 and January 2026 across districts, focused on early detection of 14 non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and other chronic conditions among adults, besides anaemia among younger persons.
