Dr. Preeti Yadav stated that these mobile vans will also be connected with government schools to conduct blood tests for female students as part of the Anemia Mukt Campaign. She emphasized that this service will be highly beneficial for marginalized sections of society, particularly pregnant women who suffer from various deficiencies and face difficulties in accessing healthcare centers.
