God Bless Promoters like Devi Shetty - From Their FY24 Annual Report - "Every day I see between 60 to 100 heart patients in my OPD. Most of them come from working-class and poor families. When I tell the mother of a child with a hole in the heart that the surgery costs 2 or 3 lakh rupees, which she does not have, she breaks down crying. It is the most humiliating experience for any parent to learn the price of their child’s life, and I see this many times a day. After this, she touches my feet and begs me to save her child’s life, saying that she can somehow arrange 1 lakh rupees to save her child. This young mother inspired me to come up with a health insurance plan in which 1 lakh rupees can instead pay for many years of premiums that can cover the cost of surgeries, including liver, kidney, and heart transplants, for her entire family." Narayana Health offers a health insurance plan called Aditi that costs Rs 10,000 per year for a family. The plan offers up to Rs 1 crore for surgeries, and Rs 5 lakh for general hospital stays within Narayana Health's network of hospitals. Hope this plan sees more success. In India, a very big % is just one hospitalization away from poverty! Sad but true! no stock reco









Seeing posts of people especially physicians taking statin + ezetimibe “just in case”? Don’t fall for it. These drugs are not general wellness supplements. ✅They are meant for selected group of people: • Established Coronary Artery Disease • Prior stroke • Diabetes (selected patients) • Very high LDL • High calculated cardiovascular risk You usually do NOT need statins or ezetimibe if you have: • Normal reports • No major risk factors • Low overall risk ▶️Important truth: Medicines are not harmless. Statins can cause muscle symptoms (myalgia, rhabdomyolysis), liver enzyme elevation and rare metabolic effects including diabetes. Therefore, benefits must clearly outweigh risks if you decide to take statins. 🔴Biggest mistake is starting lifelong medication without proper risk assessment. ✅You should focus on: • Exercise • Healthy diet • Optimum Sleep • Blood pressure control • Regular screening “Take statins when indicated. Not out of fear.” Dr Sudhir Kumar (@hyderabaddoctor)
