The Nepal government has launched a nationwide month-long health campaign starting Thursday.
Launched by the Ministry of Health and Population, the campaign aims to generate awareness about the growing burden of non-communicable diseases in the Himalayan nation, according to officials.
As part of the campaign, free testing for hypertension, diabetes, renal function, and body mass index measurement will be provided at health facilities run by local governments.
