The clinic focuses on screening common lifestyle-related conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and mental health issues. It operates every Thursday from 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. Initial observations highlight significant health concerns among beneficiaries. Many individuals were found to have abdominal obesity, high-normal or Grade I hypertension, and some were pre-diabetic or diabetic. Stress, often linked to family and workplace issues, was also commonly reported.

To address these challenges, SHUBHAYU emphasizes personalized counselling, including tailored diet plans, physical activity guidance, and mental well-being support. Through its holistic approach, SHUBHAYU is playing a vital role in promoting preventive healthcare and empowering individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, ultimately contributing to the reduction of the NCD burden.
