  • An estimated 25 crore children below the age of 18 will be screened for the two infectious diseases, and if a person is suspected to have either of the two, s/he will be sent to a higher centre for confirmation.
  • The existing Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) infrastructure will be used for the screening.

What is Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK)?

  • RBSK is focused on preventing disease and disability in children. 
  • This initiative is aimed at screening children from 0 to 18 years for 4Ds – Defects at birth, Diseases, Deficiencies and Development Delays including Disabilities. 
  • Children diagnosed with illnesses shall receive follow up including surgeries at tertiary level, free of cost under NHM.

Objective :

  • Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) is an innovative and ambitious initiative, which envisages Child Health Screening and Early Intervention Services, a systemic approach of early identification and link to care, support and treatment.
