Union Health Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya will lead the pledge for Organ Donation at Agra, Uttar Pradesh on Saturday. Around ten thousand people are expected to take the pledge to donate organs in Agra. A person after his death can give new life to up to eight people by donating vital organs.

The Health Ministry said, Dr. Mandaviya will also inaugurate a super specialty block at Sarojini Naidu Medical College, Agra, and an organ donation registry. He will also lay the foundation stone for 23 Integrated Public Health Labs, and 87 Block Public Health Units. The Ministry said, this will be followed by a 'Seva Pakhwada' for saturation of essential health services which will run from the 17th of September to the 2nd of October this year.

The 'Ayushman Bhav' campaign inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday aims at redefining healthcare accessibility and inclusivity across the country and will be implemented during the Seva Pakhwada. The Ministry said, the core objective of the Sewa Pakhwada is to extend comprehensive healthcare coverage to every village and town, transcending geographical barriers and ensuring that no one is left behind.
