*Mayor Inaugurates Cancer Screening Camp for the Well-Being of Sanitation Workers and MCC’s Staff*

For Detailed

*Chandigarh, September 9:* To support the health of its sanitation workers and staff, the Municipal Corporation Chandigarh has organized a month-long health camp under the “Safai Apnao, Bimaari Bhagao” campaign. This initiative is in collaboration with the TCI Foundation and Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (HBCHRC). The health camp supports the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and MCC’s commitment to the welfare of its sanitation workers. 

City Mayor Sh. Kuldeep Kumar inaugurated the mega cancer screening camp at the Community Centre, Sector 11, in the presence of Sh. Sachin Galav, area councillor, Joint Commissioner Sh. Gurinder Singh Sodhi, PCS, MOH Dr. Inderdeep Kaur, other senior officers of the civic body, and MCC employees.

Cancer cases are increasing in our society, making early detection and timely treatment essential. This camp provides an important opportunity for cancer screening for our sanitation workers and employees, helping to extend their lives. The camp will also promote healthy lifestyles by raising awareness about the early signs and symptoms of cancer through information and education.

The month-long health camp will screen all sanitation workers involved in garbage collection from households and commercial areas, as well as those working at Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). Key highlights of the cancer screening camp include Oral Cancer and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screenings for males and Oral, Breast, and Cervical Cancer screenings for females. The camp also offers free medical check-ups, vaccinations, and healthcare services, including general health examinations, vision tests, dental check-ups, and the distribution of essential medicines.

MCC plans to organize 30 health camps, benefiting over 8,000 employees, irrespective of their employment criteria (Regular, Contractual, Agency, Daily Wage). These camps will be held at various locations, as strategically planned by the sanitation Wing.

Mayor Sh. Kuldeep Kumar commended the sanitation wing’s efforts in organizing an awareness and screening camp. He emphasized that the health and welfare of sanitation workers and MCC staff are top priorities. He reaffirmed that the Municipal Corporation has provided insurance coverage for all garbage collectors and MRF staff, regardless of their employment status.

He also noted that organizing this health camp is a fitting tribute to these unsung heroes and reflects the city’s commitment to its workforce. In 2023, Chandigarh was honored with the ‘Safaimitra Surakshit’ title by Her Excellency, the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Draupadi Murmu. Through initiatives like this, we are dedicated to maintaining that honor and ensuring the well-being of our sanitation workers.

The Mayor expressed gratitude to all garbage collectors, sanitation workers, and MCC staff for their hard work, which has improved waste segregation in the city and achieved 100% collection of segregated waste. He highlighted the city’s rise from the 66th rank in Swachh Survekshan 2021 to the 11th rank in 2023, urging citizens to continue their efforts to make Chandigarh a cleaner and healthier city.
