Mumbai, September 9, 2026: Maharashtra's Ganeshotsav 2026 will see 20,000 free health screening camps held at Ganesh mandals across all 36 districts, benefiting over 20 lakh people. The 'Shri Ganesha Arogyacha' campaign, launched by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, aims to provide preliminary screenings for heart disease, kidney disorders, cancer, diabetes, infectious, neurological and pediatric conditions.
The initiative, organized by the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and the Charitable Hospitals Assistance Cell, will involve around 10,000 Ganesh mandals, government and semi-government institutions, social organizations and charitable hospitals. Eligible beneficiaries will be linked to specialist treatment if needed, through schemes like Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Jan Arogya Yojana.
The campaign builds on the success of its first edition, which conducted 12,655 health camps last year, screening 7,04,073 people and referring 18,800 patients for further care.
