Nearly 89.8 million Indian adults are living with diabetes. These aren’t statistics. They’re lives navigating access, affordability, stigma, and care, every single day. Diabetes awareness isn’t optional. It’s essential. Because informed communities build healthier futures. @BeyondType1 @nickjonas @priyankachopra @DrMonikaArora @IntDiabetesFed @ICMRDELHI @Boehringer @DIYAbetesINDIA @jyotsanarangeen @Diabetesindia_ @JyotsanaRangee3 @IndiaAlliances @diwaswhm @aiims_newdelhi @thePHFI @INDIACCDC @WHO @WHOSEARO @MoHFW_INDIA @DeptHealthRes @HIA_NCD @ncdalliance @UDAANT1D @UNICEFIndia @UNICEF @SBI_FOUNDATION @WorldObesity @ObesityAction #HRIDAY #DiabetesFacts #BeyondType1 #HealthEquity

World TB Day | 24 March Tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, yet it is preventable and treatable. On World TB Day, we reaffirm the global call: “Yes!

By investing in prevention, strengthening health systems, and raising awareness, we can protect communities and save lives. At HRIDAY, we believe that informed communities and people-centred health systems are essential to building a healthier and more equitable future. Together, let us accelerate action to detect early, treat effectively, and eliminate TB.

VIDEO | World Obesity Day: In an interview with PTI, public health expert Prof. (Dr.) Monika Arora (@DrMonikaArora) clarifies that anti-obesity medications (AOM) are not “magic” drugs. They require lifelong management of obesity and should only be taken under medical supervision. These drugs are prescribed based on specific criteria, such as high BMI, diabetes, and HbA1c levels. They are not for short-term weight loss or casual use, like losing a few kilos before a wedding,” she said. #WorldObesityDay #ObesityAwareness #BeatObesity #HealthyLiving #PreventObesity #HealthForAll #StayActive #EatHealthy #MoveMore #EndObesity #HealthyFuture @thephfi @Hriday_Org (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

VIDEO | World Obesity Day: GLP-1 (Weight Loss) drugs help control diabetes & support weight loss but Healthy eating and regular exercise are essential for real results,” says Prof. (Dr.) Monika Arora (@DrMonikaArora). Adding to this Prof. (Dr.) Monika, Vice President - Research and Health Promotion at Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) says, “As of now, GLP drugs are clearly benefiting people. Longitudinal data of up to three years shows positive outcomes for those who have used them. The WHO recommends these medications, but with specific guidelines regarding who should be prescribed them.Currently, these drugs are helping individuals who were previously unable to control their diabetes or glucose levels. They are also aiding those who struggled to lose weight, enabling them to be more physically active and exercise..." #WorldObesityDay #ObesityAwareness #BeatObesity #HealthyLiving #PreventObesity #HealthForAll #StayActive #EatHealthy #MoveMore #EndObesity #HealthyFuture @thephfi @Hriday_Org (Full video available on PTI Videos - ptivideos.com)

On World Kidney Day, let’s remember that healthy kidneys are essential for a healthy life. Kidney disease often develops silently, making awareness, early detection, and healthy lifestyle choices crucial. At HRIDAY, we promote NCD prevention through informed choices, staying active, eating a balanced diet, and prioritizing regular health check-ups. This year’s theme, “Kidney Health for All - Caring for People, Protecting the Planet,” reminds us that protecting our health and environment go hand in hand.

🦷 Dental Caries: Early Identification Matters Dental caries remains one of the most common yet preventable childhood health conditions. Recognizing early signs such as tooth sensitivity, black spots, pain, gum swelling, food lodgement, and visible damage to tooth structure is critical for timely intervention. Through the ANANT MUSKAAN initiative led by the Indian Council of Medical Research, we are strengthening oral health awareness and promoting preventive practices in school settings. If you observe symptoms, seek professional dental care promptly. @Hriday_Org @ncdalliance @ICMRDELHI @aiims_newdelhi @ncert @ugc_india @EduMinOfIndia @DelhiGovDigital @doedelhi @MoHFW_INDIA @pgimer @kgmulucknow @_mgims @AmritaUniversty @SOAsocialmedia #OralHealth #SchoolHealth #HealthEducation #PublicHealthIndia #NCDPrevention

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects many women during pregnancy, often without clear symptoms. Early screening and timely care can help prevent complications for both mother and child. On National GDM Awareness Day, let’s raise awareness about the importance of maternal health, regular antenatal check-ups, and healthy lifestyles. Healthy mothers build healthier futures. @BeyondType1 @nickjonas @priyankachopra @DrMonikaArora @IntDiabetesFed @ICMRDELHI @Boehringer @DIYAbetesINDIA @jyotsanarangeen @Diabetesindia_ @JyotsanaRangee3 @IndiaAlliances @diwaswhm @aiims_newdelhi @thePHFI @INDIACCDC @WHO @WHOSEARO @MoHFW_INDIA @DeptHealthRes @HIA_NCD @ncdalliance @UDAANT1D @UNICEFIndia @UNICEF @SBI_FOUNDATION #MaternalHealth #GDMawareness #HealthyPregnancy #PublicHealth #HRIDAY
