Bengaluru, July 2, 2024: Narayana Health Insurance Ltd. (NHIL), a new venture by Narayana Health, today announced the launch of its first health insurance product, ‘ADITI.’ This innovative plan aims to bridge the gap in healthcare access for the masses in India by offering comprehensive coverage at an affordable price point.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Devi Shetty, Chairman of Narayana Health and Narayana Health Insurance said, “Today, we are not just rolling out an insurance product; we are taking a monumental step towards a future where quality healthcare is accessible to every Indian. Narayana ‘ADITI’ is designed to protect families from the financial burdens of medical expenses, offering peace of mind during challenging times. With the launch of Aditi, we embark on a transformative journey to make quality healthcare a reality for every Indian and upto 1 crore coverage for a family of four for the premium of 10,000 floaters. This is just the beginning.”

The event was attended by the Narayana Health and Insurance management team along with Anamika Roy Rashtrawar, Independent Director, NHIL. Dr. Shetty presented the first five ‘ADITI health insurance policies to their first five families from Mysore. This marks a significant milestone in Narayana Health’s mission to make healthcare accessible and affordable for all Indians through its innovative ‘ADITI’ plan. Narayana Health Insurance plans to launch ADITI in four districts around Mysore initially allowing them space to gather feedback and adapt the plan to ensure optimal service and scalability.

“Traditional health insurance can be an overwhelming process for most people”, says Viren Prasad Shetty, Vice Chairman of Narayana Hrudayalaya Ltd. “We believe health insurance should be simple, transparent, and offer a clear path to good health. We designed ‘Aditi’ to redefine health insurance as a tool for proactive healthcare, not reactive treatment. ‘Aditi’ offers a single plan that prioritizes life-saving care, eliminates hidden fees, and doesn’t have long waiting periods. Our unique offering will be built around a world-class care team, who will help families save money on essential procedures and put our members in the driver’s seat of their healthcare journey.”

Unlike traditional plans, Aditi prioritizes a smooth and efficient experience. The coverage is primarily within the trusted Narayana Health network, where experienced doctors and advanced facilities await. This focus ensures streamlined communication and minimizes administrative hurdles. However, for emergencies and specific situations, Aditi offers limited coverage outside the network, providing a safety net when needed. Most importantly, the claim settlement process within the Narayana Health network is designed to be hassle-free, allowing customers to focus on their health and recovery.

Recognizing that extensive networks can inflate costs, ADITI prioritizes value by focusing its coverage on Narayana Health hospitals, known for their quality care. Limited coverage outside the network is available for emergencies and specific situations. ADITI goes beyond just basic coverage. It prioritizes essential medical needs by covering treatment in general wards, eliminating the burden of expensive room selections. ADITI represents a significant step towards Narayana Health’s vision of creating a healthier and more equitable society.

It portrays doctors not just as medical practitioners, but as anchors of hope and healing in times of fear and uncertainty.

Speaking about the campaign, Mr. Saibal Biswas, SVP, and Head of Marketing, Partnerships & PR at MediBuddy- “In a country where each doctor serves thousands, their impact is immeasurable. Doctors are the backbone of our healthcare system, their role goes beyond the medical expertise, their humanity – the comforting touch, the reassuring words, and the unwavering commitment that transforms patient care and often represents the strongest support during challenging times. As we continue to bridge gaps in healthcare access through technology, we remain grateful for these irreplaceable guardians of health. This Doctors’ Day, MediBuddy through their #WhiteCoatHeroes campaign encourages everyone to reflect on the sacrifices made by these healthcare professionals and to show their gratitude. It’s more than just saying thank you; it’s about recognising their relentless pursuit of healing and the positive transformation they bring to countless lives.”

29th June 2024 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India To promote health awareness and provide the necessary knowledge to the community, a health and screening camp on Sickle Cell Disease was organized by Surya Hospitals in the rural village of Vasai, Maharashtra recently.

The event featured educational talks by Dr. Vandana Bansal and Dr. Nisha Iyer, which reached over 100 students. Additionally, Adivasi residents at the camp were tested for the HPLB gene to evaluate their susceptibility to Sickle cell disease. Participants also had the opportunity to consult with doctors and receive valuable information on preventive care and healthy lifestyle choices.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vandana Bansal, Director, Department of Fetal Medicine, Consultant Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surya Hospitals said, “Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic hemoglobin disorder common amongst the tribal population of India. According to the census, Scheduled Tribes constitute 8.6 per cent of the country’s total population and 11.3 per cent of the total rural population. Requiring lifelong management, Sickle Cell Disease contributes to significant morbidity and mortality amongst the affected infants and children. In India, there are many comprehensive guidelines for prevention of the disease developed jointly by the Government of Health and Family Welfare and the Government of Tribal Affairs. But because of lack of awareness those guidelines are not fructified. So, we have organized the camp to make people understand and give them a basic knowledge about the disease. Hope, through this initiative, we can strengthen our commitment to combating this disease.”

Dr. Nisha Iyer, Pediatric Hemato Oncologist and BMT Physician, Surya Hospitals stated, “The initiative aimed to enhance health literacy among college students and the Adivasi population, identifying individuals at risk of Sickle cell disease. Regular health screenings are important for early detection and prevention of diseases. Events like these play a vital role in promoting overall well-being and empowering individuals to take charge of their health.” She also added, “The success of the camp would not have been possible without the support of volunteers, and community members who came together with us to make this camp a reality. We, Surya Hospitals, extends its gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of the health camp.”

Sickle Cell is an inherited blood type disease in which a genetic mutation causes abnormal hemoglobin to clump together and soften red blood cells. Sickle cells cause blood clots, leading to bleeding, pain, infections and other serious problems. People with sickle cell disease carry only one defective gene and usually live normal lives, but they can pass that gene on to their children. Therefore, adults and newborns must undergo medical examinations for the disease.
