The project in Medchal Mandal, Telangana, aims to strengthen community health
surveillance by updating demographic data for 5,000 individuals and screening for
hypertension, diabetes, tuberculosis, and HPV-related cervical cancer.

Household visits by trained field teams with electronic data capture enable systematic documentation of key health parameters.

To date, 2,085 adults have been screened, identifying 72 new diabetes cases and poor glycemic control in 156 individuals with prior history; 524 creatinine and 374 HbA1c samples were collected.

Among 940 women approached for HPV screening, 650 self-swabs were obtained, with 21 (3.2%) testing positive. All HPV-positive participants received counselling and referral for colposcopy and treatment where needed.

The project also integrates health education workshops, vaccine preparedness efforts, and referral linkages, ensuring strengthened community engagement and improved pathways for chronic disease and cancer care.
