From November 2023 to August 2024, the Union health ministry and associated institutions reviewed 9,608 files, including the removal of 505, as part of the Centre's campaign to institutionalize 'Swachhata' and reduce pendency. This initiative is part of the ongoing 'Special Campaign 3.0'.

The Union health ministry disclosed that alongside the file reviews, 25,660 public grievances, 3,146 appeals on CPGRAMS, 119 PMO references, 286 VIP references, 13 parliamentary assurances, and 53 state government references were resolved.
