The visit serves as a crucial preparatory step for the upcoming national meeting to commemorate International Children's Day. A key highlight of the visit was the launch of a specialized mental health convoy. This mobile initiative is designed for the early diagnosis of children on the autism spectrum and those with mild intellectual disabilities, offering crucial support and intervention in underserved areas.
