Record 11,786 ECGs done for women in a single day across India

As part of a nationwide campaign in support of the Government of India’s ‘Swasth Naari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan,’ Narayana Health conducted 11,786 free ECG screenings for women across its hospitals and healthcare centres in the country on a single day. 

The screenings, conducted on the same day, were aimed at raising awareness about the importance of early detection of cardiovascular diseases in women. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women in India, accounting for almost 18% of all female deaths, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study.

This record is over three times more than the hospital’s last year’s record of 3,797 ECGs (conducted for both men and women). The campaign was led by Narayana Health City, Bengaluru, which performed more than 5,500 ECGs in a single day.
