Over 1200 Healthcare Professionals, 420+ Hospitals and Clinics across 277 cities joined forces in Glenmark’s “TakeCharge@18” initiative

Bangalore, India, October 10, 2023: Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Glenmark Pharma”), a research-led, integrated, global pharmaceutical company once again reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to cardiovascular health. The company collaborated with over 1200 healthcare professionals (HCPs) from 420+ hospitals and clinics spanning 277 cities and towns across India as a part of their ongoing “Take Charge @18” campaign. The initiative witnessed 410 awareness rallies organized throughout September which was observed as “World Heart Month” by the organization.
According to the World Heart Report 2023, CVDs are the leading cause of mortality and amount to about a third of all global deaths. As per World Health Organization (2016), in India, Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including Cardio Vascular Diseases, are estimated to account for 60% of total adult deaths of which CVDs account for over a quarter (26%) of these deaths i.e. 17.7 million. Among the myriad risk factors for CVDs, high blood pressure stands out as one of the most significant contributors.
Glenmark’s “Take Charge @18” campaign was conceived with a singular objective, to raise awareness about the critical importance of proactive heart health management starting as early as 18 years of age.
Key Highlights of the World Heart Month Awareness Rallies:
1. Nationwide Reach: Glenmark Pharma’s collaboration with healthcare professionals extended to every nook and cranny of India, encompassing cities, towns, and rural areas. This expansive reach ensured that the vital message of heart health touched the lives of diverse populations
2. Partnering with Healthcare Professionals: The 410 awareness rallies provided a platform for individuals to come together and gain valuable insights into heart health. These rallies featured doctor sessions that elucidated the need for early-age screening, lifestyle modifications for preventing CVDs, and practical demonstrations on the correct method of measuring blood pressure
3. Early Intervention: The campaign underscored the significance of beginning preventive measures from the age of 18. It emphasized lifestyle modifications, including adopting a heart-healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and effectively managing stress
In an era where proactive measures are the need of the hour, Glenmark’s “Take Charge @18” campaign sought to educate individuals about the critical role of early intervention in averting future cardiovascular complications. The campaign spotlighted blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle adjustments as powerful tools to significantly reduce the risk of CVDs.
In August 2023, Glenmark Pharma further expanded its commitment by partnering with OMRON Healthcare India, the Indian arm of the Japanese global leader in measuring blood pressure at home from the age of 18. The initiative included in-clinic education for around 92,000 healthcare professionals (HCPs), youth awareness programs for college students, and outreach to 200 million people through multiple channels including its digital platform: www.bpincontrol.in.

World Mental Health Day: Fostering Mental Health Resilience in the Workplace

Mumbai, 10th October – Ahead of the World Mental Health Day on 10 October, International SOS, the world’s leading health and security risk services company, puts a spotlight on the increasing importance of mental health resilience for global workforces. In a global landscape in which there are ongoing poly- and permacrises, the impact of these challenges on the mental health of employees has never been more significant. A global pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, geopolitical challenges and the accelerating rate of change in today’s workplace have placed unprecedented stressors on individuals and organisations worldwide.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 15% of working-age adults lived with a mental disorder in 2019, and 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety alone1. International SOS Assistance Centre has already seen a 5% increase in the number of requests for assistance related to mental illness during the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Poor working environments, including discrimination and inequality, excessive workloads, low job control and job insecurity all pose a risk to mental health. Without effective support, mental illness can impact an individual’s capacity to work productively, absences and the ease with which they can retain or gain work.
Dr. Vikram Vora, Medical Director at International SOS said, “Indian subcontinent highlights that the unique challenge of having 1 out of every 7 Indians affected by mental health and wellbeing issues can only be met through a comprehensive understanding of the psychosocial risk landscape followed by concrete and coordinated action. Employers, leaders and managers need to be aware and accept that the rapidly evolving world of today, especially after the pandemic, is no longer a place where employees feel naturally safe and protected. Problems like economic uncertainty, uncertain employment, growing infectious diseases, climate anxiety and geopolitical crises, expose employees to unforeseen risks. Organizations would do well to reassess their employee health and well-being strategies to identify gaps and fill them in the quickest possible time.”
He adds, “The continuum for workers with mental ill-being encompasses awareness, de-stigmatization, identification, addressal, rehabilitation and mainstream re-integration. Programs that include these steps have the highest likelihood of making a difference to employee lives.”
Dr Oliver Harrison, CEO of Koa Health, a leading global provider of digital-first mental healthcare, said, “We live in challenging times, with cost-of-living pressures worldwide, recovery from the pandemic and conflict in Europe against a backdrop of the climate crisis. In this context, mental health resilience has become a critical matter for organisations, public and private. With the shortage of mental healthcare professionals reaching record highs, even those employees with a clinical diagnosis struggle to access the support they need.”
International SOS provides a framework for organisations to safeguard the mental health and wellbeing of their employees:
- 1.Foster a supportive work culture and ensure leadership commitment: Create a workplace culture and environment that prioritises and encourages open dialogue on mental health. Integrate mental health initiatives into relevant policies and practices that support it.
- Promote mental health awareness: Implement comprehensive mental health awareness campaigns to reduce stigma and encourage open dialogue.
- Provide accessible resources: Ensure employees have a toolkit of mental health resources at their fingertips, from counselling to self-guidance materials.
- Adapt to individual needs: Offer flexible work arrangements to accommodate individual needs and reduce work-related stress.
- Training and education: Roll out mental health training, enabling everyone to spot, understand and assist with mental health challenges.
- Monitor and assess: Seek feedback and continuously monitor the mental health of employees through surveys and assessments to adapt programmes as needed.
- Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Provide EAPs that offer confidential counselling and support services to employees. Digitally enabled mental health care, such as the Koa Foundations Wellbeing App, allows organisations to maximise EAP and existing services uptake and widen access to care while containing or significantly reducing costs.

Dr. Gautam Wankhede, Director of Medical Affairs, Mylab Discovery Solutions said,.”Mylab’s fever panel is a hugely beneficial kit as it enables testing of multiple diseases such as Malaria, Chikungunya, Dengue, Zika, Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis bacterial species, and Leishmaniasis parasite at once, saving time and resources. Many of these diseases remain undiagnosed due to the similar nature of initial symptoms while the course of treatment is different for each. Hence, it is important to do a test with wide species coverage, which can identify and differentiate the infection source.”
‘Healthtech partnership by Mylab’ is an initiative to empower entrepreneurs in the hinterland to build molecular diagnostics lab to make diagnostics accessible to remote corners of the country. The lab owners and doctors will be able to provide quicker and quality diagnostic results to the patients, leading to desired clinical outcomes.

NMIMS Bengaluru organises Walkathon to create Mental Health Awareness

Bengaluru, 21st September 2023: In its persevering commitment towards fostering mental health awareness, Udyam, the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of SVKM’s NMIMS Bengaluru, recently organised a Walkathon. The theme of the walkathon was ‘Walk for a Cause: Mental Health Awareness’ for its School of Business Management (SBM) students.
The Walkathon began with students assembling at the Royal Meenakshi Mall. The journey concluded at Windsor Amulyam. The 5 Km journey was replete with students expressing themselves through slogans and banners demonstrating the central theme of the event. The enthusiasm and energy levels among the participants were a sight to behold. More than 150 students participated in the walkathon, making it a success.
In order to create awareness about mental health amongst the general public, an inspirational ‘Nukkad Natak’ or a street play was performed following the walk. The performance was divided into three segments. Each of the three acts covered distinct topics with the focus of making people realise the positive results of sound mental health. It was demonstrated by recreating real-life scenarios faced by the youth. The performance concluded with the message of dealing with the hard times and emerging victorious.
Professor Janaki Anant, the faculty mentor at Udyam, was the guiding light of the students throughout the event. She created a safe space for students and asked them to share their own stories of battling mental health. Each story provided deep insights into the tough times faced by students and how they embraced reality and emerged out of it successfully. The exercise reassured students that they were not alone in their MBA journey at NMIMS SBM.
The walkathon resulted in three key learnings. Firstly, how the internal and external pressures we build within us sow seeds of mental distress and the unwanted steps we end up taking regarding our lives. Secondly, how failure leads to self-doubt, pain and anguish. This further contributes to unhealthy behavioural patterns and lifestyles. Lastly, seeking the right help and support can actually help us to release and overcome the burden of the unaddressed trauma within.
The success of the walkathon was a result of Udyam’s commitment towards increasing
public awareness about mental health. The committee is aimed at contributing
to making the world more liveable and equitable. It is also a testament to the changing times and the NMIMS’ commitment towards creating healthier campuses.
Commending the success of the event, Dr. Narayani Ramachandran, Deputy Director, NMIMS Bengaluru, said, “The success of the walkathon on mental awareness exemplifies the positive change we’re witnessing, which calls for an environment conducive for growth and happiness. The event reflects NMIMS Bengaluru’s commitment to shaping a better society, where we shun the stigma around health issues. Rather, we must together create a place where mental wellbeing is prioritised and positivity is encouraged.”
Ms. Gitanjana, the Counsellor at NMIMS Bengaluru, infused a sense of optimism and positive energy through her words. Stressing the importance of seeking help and overcoming hardships when the going gets tough, she shared, “In the face of adversity, it is important to embrace the strength in seeking help and supporting one another. Let’s aim to foster a community where seeking therapy is seen as a courageous step towards personal growth.”
