P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre Launches India’s First Living Will Clinic to Help Individuals Plan Their Future Healthcare Decisions

Mumbai, June 30, 2025: P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre has launched India’s first Living Will Clinic to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their future medical care. The clinic will help individuals articulate and document their healthcare preferences through a legally recognised Living Will, ensuring that their decisions are known and respected, even if they may be unable to communicate them later during their medical treatment.

A living will, also known as an advanced medical directive is a legal document that enables individuals to outline their preferences for medical treatment in serious or unforeseen health circumstances, ensuring they retain control over future healthcare decisions. As part of advance care planning, it encourages individuals to reflect on their values, document treatment choices, appoint a medical power of attorney, and engage in meaningful conversations with loved ones. The Living Will Clinic at P. D. Hinduja Hospital guides individuals through this process, providing clear information, compassionate support, and the confidence to make informed decisions that honour their wishes and ease the burden on families during medical crises.

Mr. Gautam Khanna, CEO, P. D. Hinduja Hospital & MRC, said, “At P. D. Hinduja Hospital, we believe that healthcare should go beyond treatment and help individuals make informed decisions about their future health. With the launch of India’s first Living Will Clinic, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their future medical decisions with clarity and dignity. This clinic offers compassionate guidance to help people articulate their values and ensure those wishes are honoured, even when they cannot voice them. It is an extension of our commitment to a compassionate, ethical, and forward-thinking healthcare system.”

Dr. Roop Gursahani, Section Head, Neurology, P. D. Hinduja Hospital & MRC, said, “Our healthcare system currently lacks preparedness for situations where patients are unable to communicate for themselves. In such cases, families are forced to make difficult decisions without knowing what their loved one would have wanted. The Living Will Clinic helps individuals in taking charge of their decisions in advance by explaining their options, documenting their wishes, and designating someone they trust to take the right decision on their behalf.”

Dr. Smriti Khanna, Consultant – Palliative Medicine, P. D. Hinduja Hospital & MRC said, “Conversations around end-of-life care are difficult but are an extremely essential part of advance care planning. We believe the living will process is at the core of personalised medicine, as it allows individuals to reflect deeply about what quality of life means to them and express their wishes clearly. Our goal at the clinic is to help people navigate through these decisions with sensitivity, keeping their values, beliefs, and comfort remain central to any future medical care they may receive.”

The launch of Living Will Clinic marks an important step in encouraging structured advance care planning in India. By providing individuals with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions in advance, the clinic aims to reduce uncertainty during medical crises and promote care that is consistent with personal values and wishes. P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre is committed to fostering such progressive initiatives that prioritize patient welfare and preparedness at the forefront of healthcare.

Cataracts Cause 66% of Blindness in India: Nethradhama and Sun Pharma Launch Cataract Awareness Cyclothon in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, June 26, 2025: Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital, in collaboration with Sun Pharma, organised a Cataract Awareness Cyclothon in Jayanagar today. The initiative aimed to raise public awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and timely treatment of cataracts—which is still the leading cause of preventable blindness in India.

The event witnessed participation from over 75 cyclists, including healthcare professionals and eye donors from Shraddha Eye Care, the non-profit wing of Nethradhama. The cyclothon was flagged off by Mr. R. K. Gupta, Trustee of Koshika Foundation, a Non-Profit organization that sponsors free eye checkups, eye surgeries and heart surgeries for needy and underprivileged people, and Professor Dr. Sri Ganesh, Chairman and Managing Director of Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital. Cyclists rode through key areas of Jayanagar, spreading the message of proactive eye care.

Cataracts account for over 66.2% of blindness cases in India, according to the National Blindness and Visual Impairment Survey. Although effective surgical treatment is available, delayed diagnosis—often due to lack of awareness—leads to irreversible vision loss, particularly among the elderly and rural populations.

“Cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness, yet they preventable with timely treatment. However, due to a lack of awareness, thousands continue to lose their sight unnecessarily. This is especially true in rural and underserved communities where access to care is limited or delayed. With initiatives like the Cataract Awareness Cyclothon, our goal is to take the message of proactive eye care to the streets — encouraging people to look out for early signs and seek timely medical attention. Awareness, combined with access, is key to eliminating avoidable blindness,” said Professor Dr. Sri Ganesh.

Mr. R. K. Gupta, Trustee of Koshika Foundation, added, “At Koshika Foundation, we focus strongly on eye care because we believe restoring sight can give dignity to many lives. Through small contributions from many people, we help fund cataract surgeries, organise free eye camps, and support charitable eye clinics. Initiatives like this help spread awareness and demonstrate how collaborative efforts can bring timely and affordable treatment to those in need. Awareness is the first step toward prevention, and together, we can help eliminate avoidable blindness. Koshika ensures that every Rupee received from donors goes towards serving the needy. Till date, Koshika Foundation has sponsored over 14,000 cataract surgeries through Shraddha Eye Care.”

Nethradhama is committed to quality eye care with continuous learning, community outreach, and maintaining a high standard of care across all their services. As a part of the initiatives, Nethradhama distributed educational materials, social media awareness drives, and community outreach activities. The doctors at Nethradhama urges families especially with elderly members to prioritise regular eye check-ups, recognise the early signs of cataract, and seek timely care.

Brain Tumours Demystified: Essential Information for Patients and Families

Dr R V RAGHUNANDAN, Senior Consultant – Radiation Oncologist at HCG MNR Curie Cancer Centre at Ongole

The diagnosis of a brain tumour usually triggers significant anxiety in the minds of the patient and the family. Given the brain’s central role in controlling cognition, emotion, and bodily function, this sense of fear is understandable. Yet, it is important to recognise that not all brain tumours carry the same prognosis or treatment implications. Advances in neuro-imaging, surgical techniques, and targeted therapies have significantly improved the outlook for many patients. A nuanced understanding of brain tumours—ranging from benign to malignant forms—is essential to support informed decision-making and reduce unnecessary fear.

Not All Brain Tumours Are the Same

One of the most common misconceptions is the assumption that all brain tumours are aggressive or malignant. In reality, brain tumours comprise a diverse group of conditions, with varying behaviours, prognoses, and treatment approaches.

Some are benign (non-cancerous), such as meningiomas or acoustic neuromas. These grow slowly and may not spread but can still cause symptoms if they press on vital brain structures. Others, like glioblastomas, are malignant and can grow rapidly.

There are also secondary (metastatic) brain tumours, which begin as cancers elsewhere in the body—like the lung, breast, or kidney—and travel to the brain. These are actually more common than primary brain tumours.

Knowing what type of tumour, it is, and where it’s located, determines everything: from symptoms, to treatment, to prognosis.

Symptoms Can Be Subtle—or Sudden

Brain tumours do not always announce themselves dramatically. Patients may present with non-specific symptoms that are frequently attributed to stress or fatigue. Persistent headaches, difficulty concentrating, memory disturbances, and noticeable changes in behaviour or mood are among the early signs that may warrant further neurological evaluation.

Weakness on one side of the body or seizures could possibly be the first sign of a brain tumour. If a person experiences persistent neurological symptom, they definitely deserve attention. While not every neurological problem indicates a tumour, early detection can help keep the body safe.

Imaging Is the Game-Changer

Decades ago, diagnosing a brain tumour relied on intuitive conjecture and invasive tests. Today, advanced tools, such as MRI and CT scans that allow us to see the brain with remarkable clarity. Advanced imaging helps us not only detect tumours but also understand their behaviour—how fast they’re growing, how they’re interacting with brain tissue, and whether they can be surgically removed.

In some cases, a biopsy may still be required to confirm the type of tumour. But increasingly, there is a huge dependence on high-resolution scans and molecular diagnostics, to guide our treatment decisions.

Treatment Is Often Multi-Pronged

Treatment for brain tumours is highly individualized. A young patient with a small, slow-growing tumour may only need monitoring. Another person might need a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Surgical techniques have also improved vastly. Neuro-navigation systems, real-time brain mapping, and minimally invasive procedures allow us to operate with much greater precision and safety. The aim is not just to remove the tumour, but to preserve as much normal brain function as possible.

When surgery isn’t an option, stereotactic radiosurgery—a focused form of radiation—or targeted drug therapies may be used. The era of “one-size-fits-all” is gone. We now treat tumours based on their genetic profile, behaviour, and the impact on the individual.

It’s Not Just About the Brain—It’s About the Person

One of the most overlooked aspects of brain tumours is the toll they take on personal life. Even a small tumour can affect speech, vision, balance, or personality. That’s why care must extend beyond treating the tumour.

Close collaboration with rehabilitation specialists, psychologists, as well as speech and occupational therapists is an integral part of comprehensive brain tumour care. The goal is not just survival—but the quality of life, post-survival. Helping a patient walk again, regain her voice, or return to work, is just as important as removing a tumour.

Things Patient Should Keep in Mind

When a patient hears the term “brain tumour,” the first reaction is often fear, as it can be difficult to understand. However, knowledge is empowering. One of the most important steps a patient can take is to stay well-informed. Being aware, asking questions, and remaining actively involved with the medical team can make a significant difference.

A brain tumour diagnosis can be overwhelming, but it is important to recognise that significant advancements in medical science have transformed the way these conditions are managed. With improved diagnostic tools, targeted therapies, and multidisciplinary care, outcomes continue to improve and recovery is increasingly achievable. Each case is unique, and treatment plans must be tailored to the specific clinical and biological characteristics of the tumour and the individual.

The presence of persistent neurological symptoms should never be ignored or delayed in evaluation, as timely assessment is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective management. Early evaluation by a specialist can make a significant difference. Remember, knowledge is power—seeking timely medical advice can lead to better outcomes. Reach out to a qualified neurologist or neurosurgeon to discuss your concerns and take the first step towards understanding and managing brain health, with confidence.

HCAH Appoints Dr. Munim Tomar to Boost PMR Expertise, Accelerates Recovery Mission in Delhi-NCR

New Delhi, June 25, 2025 – In a powerful step toward its core mission of delivering India’s fastest, most effective rehabilitation outcomes, HCAH—India’s leading full-stack rehab and geriatric care platform—has appointed Dr. Munim Tomar, an accomplished physiatrist trained at AIIMS, as Consultant, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at its Patel Nagar facility. This strategic addition strengthens HCAH’s leadership in out-of-hospital neuro, paediatric, and amputee rehabilitation across Delhi-NCR.

The expansion of HCAH’s PMR capabilities is not just an operational milestone—it’s a direct enabler of HCAH’s founding motto: to deliver the fastest recoveries through expert-led, evidence-based, patient-centric care. With structured PMR now at the center of its clinical model, HCAH is creating a system where speed and quality of recovery go hand in hand.

Dr. Tomar brings over seven years of clinical and academic experience from India’s premier institutions including AIIMS, Safdarjung, and RML. His areas of specialization span neuro rehab, paediatric rehabilitation, spinal cord injury, orthotic and prosthetic rehab, chronic pain management, and sports injury recovery. His appointment arrives at a time when post-stroke disability, neurological disorders, and trauma-related mobility challenges are rising sharply in the region—underscoring the urgent need for structured, multidisciplinary PMR care.

At the Patel Nagar centre, Dr. Tomar will lead personalized, protocol-driven rehab plans tailored to reduce pain, restore function, and help patients reclaim independent lives—faster and more completely. This includes working closely with patients recovering from stroke, children with neurological impairments, and individuals requiring prosthetic or orthotic support after limb loss.

Dr. Gaurav Thukral, Co-Founder and COO of HCAH, said:
“HCAH’s motto has always been simple—‘Fastest recovery. Best quality of life.’* With the addition of Dr. Tomar and the expansion of our PMR team, we are turning that promise into measurable reality. This is not just a new appointment—it’s a significant reinforcement of our philosophy. Whether a patient is recovering from stroke, living with cerebral palsy, or adjusting to life after amputation, our goal is to get them back to function, back to purpose—and do it faster than traditional models allow.”*

Dr. Tomar added:
“Rehabilitation should not be an afterthought. It should be the driving force of post-acute care. For every patient, time is function—and the faster we act, the better the recovery. At HCAH, I see an environment where that urgency is matched with structure, empathy, and clinical excellence. I’m excited to join this mission to make recoveries not just possible—but faster and fuller.”

HCAH’s full-stack model integrates in-patient rehab centres, home-based rehab services, and long-term geriatric care into one coordinated continuum. With PMR specialists now embedded across its Delhi-NCR operations, HCAH is building a national benchmark for rapid, out-of-hospital rehabilitation—combining speed with sustainability for stroke survivors, amputees, and children with mobility disorders.

Rising Cases of Fatty Liver Among Youth: ILS Hospital Expert Warns on Lifestyle Risks and Urges Early Intervention

By – Dr. Sarbajit Ray,Consultant Physician,ILS Hospitals, Salt Lake

Recently it’s observed that an increasing number of young people are reporting fatty liver. Fatty liver typically can be caused by Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or Alcohol related fatty liver.

The increase in NAFLD in the young population is worrisome.

NAFLD could be due to lifestyle factors, particularly poor diet and sedentary behavior. Increased consumption of sugary drinks and processed foods, combined with a lack of physical activity, leads to fat accumulation in the liver.

Metabolic syndrome, including obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are major risk factors for NAFLD. Genetic factors and insulin resistance increase the risk manifold.

1. Lifestyle Factors:

Poor Diet:
Processed food and fast foods are high-fat, high-sugar diets, especially high in refined carbohydrates and saturated fats. These foods overwhelm the liver’s ability to process and break down fats.
Sedentary Lifestyle:
Lack of physical activity contributes to weight gain and fat accumulation, including in the liver.
Obesity:
Excess body weight, particularly abdominal fat is strongly associated with NAFLD.

2. Metabolic Factors:

Metabolic Syndrome:
This condition, characterized by obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, is a major risk factor for NAFLD.
Insulin Resistance:
When the body’s cells don’t respond properly to insulin, it can lead to elevated blood sugar and fat levels, increasing the risk of fatty liver. Indians are particularly prone to have insulin resistance which increases the risks.

3. Other Factors:

Genetic Factors: Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition to developing NAFLD.
Rapid Weight Loss: Rapid weight loss also can trigger fat release into the bloodstream, potentially leading to fatty liver.
Excessive Alcohol Consumption: While usually associated with alcoholic liver disease, excessive alcohol intake also contributes to fatty liver.

The bottom line is prevention . Adoption of Lifestyle modifications, Regular exercise coupled with a healthy diet will help in reversing the damage. And of course consult your physician.

Frutas de Chile Launches a Health Focused Campaign in India to Promote Kiwifruit from Chile

24th June’2025: Chile is globally recognised for its premium-quality produce, thanks to its unique climate and geographical diversity. Among its celebrated exports, Chilean Kiwifruit stands out not only for its exceptional taste but also for its powerful nutritional benefits.

To raise awareness about the health advantages of this superfruit and establish a deeper connection with Indian consumers, Frutas de Chile has launched a dedicated promotional campaign across India, ‘The Power of Vitamin C, Fresh from Chile!’ celebrating both taste and nutrition of Chilean kiwifruits.

Known as one of the most nutrient-dense fruits, Chilean Kiwi is a powerhouse of essential vitamins and minerals. It is especially rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, actinidin, potassium, and folate. Just one serving provides a remarkable 117% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C and 21% of dietary fiber. It is also a good source of potassium and vitamin E, making it a smart and wholesome addition to daily diets.

Talking about the health benefits, Ms. Rima Rao, dietitian and nutritionist, said “Chilean kiwi is a smart choice for those looking to support digestive health naturally. Its rich fiber content and the enzyme actinidin help improve digestion, support gut health, and may even aid in better blood sugar regulation.”

“One bite of a ripe Chilean kiwi gives you more vitamin C than an orange and more potassium than a banana, that’s nature’s multivitamin!” added Ms. Rao.

Mr Carlos Cruzat, President of the Chilean Kiwifruit Committee said “We are truly delighted with the overwhelming response to Chilean Kiwifruit in India. Health-conscious Indian consumers have embraced the fruit for its exceptional quality, great taste, and nutritional value. Our campaign is focused on deepening this connection and bringing the fruit closer to consumers across the country.”

Mr. Sumit Saran, In-Country Market Representative of Chilean Kiwis, said, “Consumers in India are constantly looking for fruits that builds their immunity. Through various activities and campaigns, we aim to increase awareness about health, taste and versatility of Chilean kiwifruits. Chile, a country in South America is one of the largest producers of premium kiwifruits in the world.’

“With strong support from our trade and retail partners, we’re making Chilean Kiwifruit available in more cities across the country. And with Chile’s preferential trade agreement with India, it’s also become more affordable for Indian consumers, added Cruzat.”

Chilean Kiwifruits will be widely available across India for the next three months. Consumers can easily purchase them from local fruit stores or online through leading e-commerce and q-commerce platforms.

Varicose Veins Are Increasingly Being Diagnosed in Men Aged 25-45, Say Experts

Mumbai: Traditionally seen as a condition affecting women, varicose veins are now increasingly being diagnosed in men aged 25-45. Various lifestyle factors such as prolonged standing or sitting, lack of physical activity, obesity, and even genetics are contributing to the growing number of male patients. Just like in women, timely management in men is important to prevent complications like leg ulcers, blood clots. Early symptoms such as leg heaviness, visible veins, and night cramps are often ignored, delaying treatment and worsening the condition.

Dr Javed Sikandar, Consultant Radiologist and Varicose Vein Expert, Apollo Spectra Hospital Chembur Mumbai Said, Varicose veins occur when the valves in the veins, usually in the legs, are unable to function properly, leading to poor blood circulation and pooling of blood. This results in veins becoming enlarged, twisted, and visibly swollen. “Though women still represent the majority of cases, currently, even men are suffering from it and having difficulty in navigating their daily life. In men, common causes include prolonged standing (especially in jobs like teaching, security, or retail), obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and lifting heavy weights. A family history of vein disorders also raises the risk. Symptoms can range from aching pain, throbbing, muscle cramps, and swelling to visible blue or purple veins under the skin. In a month, approximately 3 in 10 men aged 25-45 come with symptoms such as pain, swollen and twisted veins due to varicose veins. 1 out of 3 is recommended for the Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) or sclerotherapy. So, there is a 30% surge in varicose vein cases in men. Remember, timely intervention can help one to move freely and manage this problem.”

Dr Ashank Bansal, Vascular Surgeon & Interventional Radiologist, Zynova Shalby Hospital Said “Many men tend to dismiss the early signs of varicose veins as temporary fatigue or muscle strain. However, untreated varicose veins can lead to serious complications, including skin discoloration, leg ulcers, and even deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in rare cases. The risk factors include obesity, prolonged standing or sitting, smoking, and a lack of physical exercise. In a month, approximately 2 in 10 men aged 25-45 visit with symptoms such as muscle cramps, pain, fullness, and heaviness in legs, swollen and twisted veins that can indicate varicose veins. So, there is a 20% spike in varicose vein cases in men. In moderate to severe cases, minimally invasive procedures such as Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT) or sclerotherapy offer effective treatment. Timely consultation with a vascular specialist can help avoid discomfort and long-term damage.”

“Preventive measures include regular movement, leg elevation during rest, avoiding tight clothing, and wearing compression stockings can help. Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active reduces pressure on the veins. Men must start taking leg health seriously, it’s not just a cosmetic issue but a vascular condition that needs timely care, concluded Dr Sikandar.

This year’s theme of “Yoga for One Earth, One Health” was at the center of the event, reflecting the ethos of healthy living and eco-friendly living.

Distinguished guests such as Professor R.M. Acharya from Swami Vivekananda Yoga University and Shri Mahendra Nath Pandey, Former Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises of India, graced the occasion. They were joined by key stakeholders, Dr. Upasana Arora, Dr. P.N. Arora, Dr. Sunil Dagar, and other employees at Yashoda Medicity, who actively participated in the session. Their presence underscored the importance of integrating traditional wellness practices into modern healthcare.

Yoga Sangam mirrored the increasing popular interest in health and awakening living. With collective participation central to the event, it highlighted Yashoda Medicity’s sustained efforts towards holistic well-being and preventive care among people.

Speaking on this, Dr. Upasana Arora, Managing Director of Yashoda Group of Hospitals, said, “Yoga is a powerful way to support mental well-being. It lowers stress and provides a sense of calmness and balance. It was heartening to see so many participants, from our doctors and staff to residents from nearby societies, and passionate yoga enthusiasts, come together at Yashoda Medicity for this meaningful session. The collective energy and intent with which everyone participated truly reflected how deeply people value preventive care and mindful living.”

Dr. P.N. Arora, Chairman and Managing Director, Yashoda Group of Hospitals, added, “Yoga is a simple yet powerful practice that encourages people to take ownership of their well-being. It was encouraging to see individuals from all age groups come together with a common goal of prioritising health, mindfulness, and balance. That collective participation is what gives such initiatives lasting impact.”
