Started my journey today at the 79th session of the World Health Assembly with a meeting with DG WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Appreciate DG WHO’s warm welcome and recognition of India’s transformation in the health sector through initiatives such as the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and Ayushman Aarogya Mandirs. Reaffirmed continuation of India’s support to @WHO for strengthening our partnership and advancing global health outcomes for all.

#WorldHypertensionDay #Hypertension is often a “silent killer” with no visible symptoms. Regular blood pressure checks, healthy lifestyle choices, and early management can help prevent heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. #icmrnine

@kannandelhi @AnujaJaiswalTOI @kidney_warriors No one cares. Parents are unable to control kids after habits are formed. Manufactures turn away, trying to ignore us. If India suffers with youth affected we would be too late in changing destinies. @fssaiindia @PMOIndia @AnupriyaSPatel @Moveribfan

@Vasuragh @AnujaJaiswalTOI @kidney_warriors I had onset of essential hypertension at age 37, in 2001. To be monitoring, consulting doctors, changing medicines for 25 years, a challenge. Sadly, youngsters are ignoring elevated BP.

Hypertension is increasingly affecting teenagers and young adults in India because of rising stress, obesity, poor sleep and unhealthy lifestyles, silently damaging the brain, heart and kidneys long before symptoms appear, doctors and #public #healthexperts warned on Thursday ahead of #WorldHypertensionDay on May 17. Speaking at the ‘Illness to Wellness Conference on Transforming Hypertension Care: Prevention to Wellness’, experts said many patients discover high blood pressure only after suffering a stroke, heart attack or kidney failure because the disease often remains symptomless for years. Calling hypertension a “#silentkiller”, Union minister of state for health and family welfare Prataprao Jadhav said changing lifestyles and neglect of physical and mental health were contributing to rising hypertension among younger people. @timesofindia @MoHFW_INDIA

Adolescent-friendly health centres face staff crunch; need dedicated medical officers, counsellors: UNICEF report @NewIndianXpress @TheMornStandard @UNICEFIndia @MoHFW_INDIA @OfficeofJPNadda @JPNadda @UNICEF

Today is World Hypertension Day Lifestyle measures are very important in controlling blood pressure youtu.be/hyWa_JNu00g?si…

Why is Daily Nocturnal Hemodialysis not more prevalent in India? I believe it is primarily due to the unavailability of machines designed for home use. kamaldshah.com/2026/05/i-comp…

Attn. All Political Parties, you have a role to play in securing this regulation in the interest of people of India ! If the pre-packaged food products are High Fat High Salt High Sugar foods(HFSS); shouldn’t the front of package say so ? People have the right to be informed about “packet ke andar kya hai”(what is inside the packet) @dr_sivaranjani makes a case. It’s your turn now ! Save People especially children of India ! @bjp4india @INCIndia @AamAadmiParty @bsp4bharat @cpimspeak @CPI_National @AITCofficial @samajwadiparty @RJDforIndia @Jduonline @NCPspeaks @ShivSena @ShivSenaUBT_ @Akali_Dal_ @bjd_odisha @arivalayam @AIADMKOfficial @BRSparty @JaiTDP @YSRCParty @aimim_national @jdsforchange @RLDparty @JKNC_ @jkpdp @AGPAssam @JmmJharkhand

#dyi approx 1.2 billion people r suffering from High BP But only 40% know about their hypertension status, Sadly many don't have adequately controlled BP, only 22% Have adequate Control of BP Uncontrolled BP leads to #kidneydisease #stroke This #WorldHypertensionWeek #checkurbp

@Moveribfan @fssaiindia Time to act has arrived. Packaged foods consumption is encouraged without understanding/ making excuses that occasional is perfectly fine. But when a child is affected parents, teachers, industry, policy makers and activists will be responsible.

@fssaiindia has all the High Fat High Salt High Sugar foods(HFSS) displayed in it's office(including chocos), and is asking it's employees to cut down on those. It recognises that the junk food stacked is HFSS. What is stopping the government to do a policy so that every citizen is informed of the risk associated with pre packaged food products? Warning labels is the way to go @NAPiIndia @nupurbidla @Sonal_MK @RemaNagarajan @Mukesh_k @sayantanbera @KavitaDatt @chetanabelagere @SumiSukanya @ratnabhushanET @AnujaJaiswalTOI @RujutaDiwekar @virsanghvi @ravishndtv @foodpharmer2 @chetanecostani @BShajan @NITIAayog @SwatiJaiHind @raghav_chadha @MPNaveenJindal @Tejasvi_Surya @thePHFI @RahulGandhi @beastoftraal @samajwadiparty @BJP4India @supriya_sule @KanimozhiDMK @dr_sivaranjani
