Amitabh Kant Declares ‘India’s Health Decade’ at World Health Summit 2025

New Delhi, 28 April, 2025: The World Health Summit (WHS)’s Regional Meeting 2025 opened at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi – marking the first time this global platform is being hosted in India. Organised by the National Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) as a member of the WHS Academic Alliance in collaboration with Ashoka University and Manipal Academy of Higher Education, the summit has drawn a record-breaking registration of over 4,500 participants from over 54 countries, including more than 1,000 leading health experts, scientists, ministers, and policymakers. Under the overarching theme “Scaling Access to Ensure Health Equity”, the event aims to explore innovative, inclusive, and sustainable pathways to achieving health for all.

The inaugural day was marked by the presence of distinguished dignitaries from government and industry. Notable attendees included Shri Mansukh L. Mandaviya, Union Minister for Labour, Employment, Youth Affairs and Sports; Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of Law and Justice of India, Shri Anurag Thakur, Member of Lok Sabha and Shri Amitabh Kant, G20 Sherpa. The event also welcomed senior leaders from globally renowned institutions such as NITI Aayog, WHO, UNICEF, and UNDP – reflecting the summit’s international significance and spirit of collaboration.

Inaugurating the World Health Summit, Anurag Thakur, Member of the Lok Sabha and Former Minister of Sports, Youth Affairs and Minister of Information and Broadcasting, said, It is an honour to host the Summit on Indian soil for the first time. In a world where quality healthcare often remains a privilege, our gathering in New Delhi is a call to action. India, with over 1.43 billion people, has made bold strides to democratise healthcare – moving from selective interventions to a citizen-centric model rooted in financial protection and primary care. As we aim to become a developed nation by 2047, healthcare will remain central to our journey.”

Sharing his experiences and learnings, Minister of Labour and Employment and Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports and Former Union Minister of Health & Family Welfare, Shri Mansukh Mandaviya said, “For the world, health may be commerce, but for India, it is service – and service is our sanskaar. During COVID, our healthcare workers embodied this spirit. To make health accessible, we must make it affordable – and that begins by treating it as a service, not a business. When service, not profit, drives healthcare, it reaches the last mile.”

 Amitabh Kant, India’s G20 Sherpa and Former CEO, Niti Aayog, said, “India will grow from a $4 trillion to a $30 trillion economy by 2047, driven by human development and better quality of life – with health at its core. This is not just India’s digital decade; it’s India’s health decade. We are ready to co-lead and build an inclusive, sustainable, and resilient health-tech ecosystem.”             

 The first two days of the summit featured 9 keynote speeches, 80 panel discussions, 12 side meetings and 4 workshops – all addressing different themes and topics related to improving healthcare access, policy initiatives and building new health-tech solutions. Key panel discussions focused on strengthening primary healthcare delivery in South Asia, reimagining health systems for resilience and inclusivity, and exploring innovations in digital health to bridge the urban-rural access divide. Additional sessions delved into health financing models, data governance for public health accountability, and improving overall healthcare quality through digital technologies and AI.

Being one of the biggest health summits globally, the event also welcomed thought leaders from across the globe. Distinguished speakers included Former Prime Minister of New Zealand Helen Clark, Dr. Vinod Paul, Member, NITI Aayog; Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chairperson, M S Swaminathan Research Foundation; Rajiv Raghuvanshi, Drugs Controller General of India; Ms. Cynthia McCaffrey, Representative, UNICEF India, Indu Bhushan, Former CEO, Ayushman Bharat and President-iLEAP, Pahle India Foundation, amongst others.

Dr Anurag Agrawal, Dean of BioSciences and Health Research at the Trivedi School of Biosciences and Head of Koita Center for Digital Health at Ashoka, who also moderated the panel discussion titled ‘Digital Health Accreditation for Advancing Quality, Standardization, and Excellence: Best Practices from India,’ said, “The Summit is being hosted at India at a crucial moment when digital health and next-gen technologies like AI are playing a pivotal role in enhancing last-mile delivery of health services. However, significant gaps still persist in India and across South Asia. The discussions at WHS will provide a critical opportunity to address these gaps, foster collaboration, and identify scalable solutions to improve health outcomes for all.”

 Ashoka University played an active role in several sessions on the first two days. Faculty from its Trivedi School of Bioscience and Koita Centre For Digital Health led an impactful panel on Digital Health and Scaling Access to AI-Powered Diagnostics, highlighting the role of academic research in shaping pragmatic, evidence-based health solutions. The University also engaged students and early-career researchers as volunteers and rapporteurs, offering them valuable exposure to high-level health diplomacy and international cooperation.

As the summit moves into its third day, discussions will turn toward the role of traditional medicines, gender-responsive health systems, and the future of global health partnerships. With representation from across South Asia and beyond, the WHS Regional Meeting 2025 is set to leave a lasting impact on how health equity is pursued in the region.

TPAG Applauds Lady Hardinge Medical College for Advancing Blood Safety with NAT Lab Inauguration

New Delhi, April 24, 2025: Thalassemia Patients Advocacy Group (TPAG) extends its heartfelt appreciation to Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) and the Department of Immunohematology & Blood Transfusion for their progressive step towards enhancing blood safety through the inauguration of a Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) Laboratory.

The NAT Lab was iugurated by Prof. (Dr.) Atul Goel, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, in the esteemed presence of Dr. Sunita Sharma, Additional DGHS. This state-of-the-art facility marks a critical step forward in safeguarding patients against transfusion-transmitted infections.

Anubha Taneja Mukherjee, Member Secretary, TPAG, who attended the inauguration, lauded LHMC for setting a benchmark in ensuring safer blood transfusion practices. “This is a commendable initiative. We urge all hospitals and blood banks across the country to take a cue from LHMC and mandate Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) to ensure the highest level of blood safety, especially for patients who are dependent on regular transfusions,” she stated.

This milestone follows TPAG’s recent endorsement of the Maharashtra Government’s bold move towards a ‘Thalassemia Mukt Maharashtra’, a pioneering step in the direction of prevention and early identification. TPAG strongly advocates for a national mandate on safe blood practices and urges the Government to:

  • Mandate NAT-based testing in all blood banks nationwide to eliminate the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections.
  • Integrate thalassemia screening into national and state-level health programs, including premarital health check-ups, to identify carriers early and prevent disease transmission.
  • Include thalassemia management under Ayushman Bharat and PM-JAY to ensure accessible, cost-effective, and lifelong care for all thalassemia patients in India.

With over 10,000 children born with thalassemia every year, TPAG reiterates that urgent, sustained policy action on safe blood, early screening, and comprehensive care is essential to realize the vision of a ‘Thalassemia-Free India’.

Haryana emerges as model state for school-based health education

Chandigarh, April 24, 2025: In an urgent yet hopeful call to action, noted scientist and health advocate Dr. Rahul Mehra, National Representative of India to the UNESCO Chair on Global Health and Education and Executive Chairman of Tarang Health Alliance, launched a nationwide campaign titled ‘5-4-3-2-1-0: Countdown to a Healthy Life!’ at a media workshop in Chandigarh today.

Dr.Mehra noted that the life expectancy of an Indian is just around 70 years, compared to 85 in Japan. Unfortunately, an average Indian is only “healthy” till the age of 60 years. This is because physical and mental diseases are taking their toll. One in four Indians has diabetes and one in ten heart disease. Mental health issues are rising rapidly, especially among youth. Dr. Mehra emphasized that the most cost-effective solution is prevention – and that starts with health education in schools. “The only window to change this trajectory is during school years, when children are still forming their habits.

The campaign, aimed at embedding healthy habits early in life, begins its rollout in Haryana, the first state to formally partner with Tarang Health Alliance to integrate structured health education into school curricula. Since April 2024, Haryana has piloted the programme in 12 government schools, successfully demonstrating how simple, everyday actions can transform health outcomes.

We chose to begin in Haryana because the state has demonstrated rare commitment to health education,” said Dr. Mehra. “By allowing Tarang Health Alliance to work closely with its public education system, Haryana has created the ideal conditions for grassroots health learning. We are confident the state will emerge as a national leader in driving this mass awareness and behaviour change.

“If we want to improve the country’s long-term health, we must begin with our children,” he added. “Changing adult behaviours is difficult. But if we empower our children with the right skills early on, they will carry these habits throughout their lives. The 5-4-3-2-1-0 campaign gives India a simple, science-based framework to do exactly that.”

The campaign outlines six daily health habits in an easy-to-remember countdown:

5: Eat five servings of fruits and vegetables daily

4: Wash hands properly with soap and water at least four times a day (after going to toilet, before breakfast, lunch, and dinner)

3: Consume three servings of protein-rich foods daily

2: Limit recreational screen time to two hours or less every day

1: Engage in at least one hour of physical activity every day

0: Avoid tobacco, sugary drinks, and salty packaged snacks

These habits are not just for children – they are designed to encourage families and schools to work together in building a culture of health. Schools are being urged to incorporate the campaign into morning assemblies, administer a student health pledge, conduct creative competitions like poster-making, and engage parents through PTAs and community sessions. A “Postcards to the Prime Minister” initiative invites children to share how these habits can help India achieve the dream of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047.

Atherosclerosis: The Hidden Threat to Your Heart

By Dr. Naveen Chandra G S, HOD and Lead Consultant – Department of Interventional Cardiology, Aster Whitefield Hospital, Bengaluru

There are many health problems relating to the heart and among them, a serious one is Atherosclerosis – a silent killer.  There is an urgent need to understand this condition to enable us to take preventive measures. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of arteries over a period of time and develops without noticeable symptoms. It mainly occurs when the arteries, which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the whole body, become constricted due to accumulation of fat deposits – known as plaque development. Plaques are mainly made up of cholesterol, calcium, cellular waste and fibrin present in the blood. Over time, the deposition of plaques along the walls of the arteries impedes normal blood flow, resulting in severe complications associated with the vascular system such as strokes and heart attacks. Atherosclerosis is a common form of heart disease and world over, nearly 17.9 million deaths occur annually as per the World Health Organisation (WHO).

What are the symptoms of this condition

The initial symptoms associated with atherosclerosis depend on the organ involved. Some people have chest pain, especially when they are involved in exercises or high-intensity physical activity. Furthermore, chest pain might not be the only symptom as individuals may also experience breathlessness because the heart is unable to provide enough oxygen to the body. This is an indication that blood is unable to reach that part of the body due to reduced circulation.

Other symptoms include feelings of exhaustion and being woozy or fainting due to poor circulation of blood to the cerebral region. In these regions, you may experience episodes of loss of sensation and weakness, which frequently occur due to blockage of the arteries. These signs may be misinterpreted as associated with age, but these symptoms should not be disregarded since they are first warnings of atherosclerosis, which, if neglected, could result in heart attack and stroke.

 Why does this condition occur

The major reason for atherosclerosis is damage to the arterial wall known as endothelium. The damage can occur due to factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking or chronic inflammatory diseases. While it is most common among people over 40 years, the risk gets aggravated as one grows older.

Smoking, inactivity, chronic stress, and lack of rest are also lifestyle factors that lead to atherosclerosis. Diet that contains saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol can also contribute to increased plaque formation in the arteries. Overeating, quick and sweet unhealthy foods will encourage the development of arterial plaques.

If you experience acute chest pain, pronounced shortness of breath, or discomfort in the arm or jaws, it would be appropriate to seek emergency care. If persistent tiredness occurs, if you experience weakness on one side of the body or trouble with walking, prompt evaluation to rule out having a stroke is absolutely essential.

 How do you treat this condition

The typical approach is to evaluate, and record the relevant history, and conduct physical examination, based on which doctors would diagnose atherosclerosis. This necessitates blood tests for cholesterol levels, imaging for plaque via CT angiogram and perfusion assessment tests or coronary angiogram. On determining the condition, doctors generally recommend lifestyle changes like engaging in physical activity, coming up with a plan to stop smoking, and embracing a heart-friendly diet. In more advanced cases, prescriptions against high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, or blood clotting may be necessary. Where the condition is much more complex, surgery such as angioplasty or bypass surgery is called for. The extent of atherosclerosis can be approximated by looking at the degree of constriction of the arteries and the dimensions and stability of plaques.

In conclusion, one can say that all these interventions help in reducing the deposition of plaques in arteries and reduces the incidence of atherosclerosis and its related complications, thereby enhancing general cardiovascular wellbeing and quality of life.
