| Comprehensive prevention campaigns and a strong treatment system will form the foundation of India's health security: CM | | | Early Times Report
LUCKNOW, Apr 10: Amid rapidly changing lifestyles and the rising threat of non-communicable diseases, it has now become essential to bring a balanced coordination of both prevention and treatment at the centre of health policy, rather than focusing only on treatment. Presenting this comprehensive vision, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, "If the country has to be made healthy and productive in the long term, then the medical system must move beyond a treatment-centric model towards a model based on public awareness and lifestyle improvement." Chief Minister was addressing the Cardiological Society of India conference 'NIC-2026' at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University on Friday. Chief Minister added, "The government is working on expanding health infrastructure and affordable treatment. On the other hand, prioritizing the strategy of 'prevention' to protect society from diseases in advance is the biggest need of the time. This dual approach (strong treatment system and comprehensive prevention campaign) will form the foundation of India's health security in the future and will define the direction for turning the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' into reality." Chief Minister said, non-communicable diseases have now become a serious concern for society, while in Indian tradition, balanced diet and regular routine have always been the basis of a healthy life. Amid challenges arising from changing lifestyles, two major dimensions of health, prevention and treatment, have clearly emerged. He added, inspiring people to adopt a healthy routine through awareness campaigns is the need of the hour, which will help in tackling future health challenges more effectively. Chief Minister stated, "The rapid increase in non-communicable diseases and their growing impact on a large section of society is a matter of serious concern. However, in recent years, there has been a major change. Through Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, about 55-60 crore people in the country are now getting health security of up to Rs 5 lakh per year, making it one of the largest health coverage schemes in the world and providing relief to common people from the burden of treatment expenses." |
