In our relentless modern world, sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary choices have turned into a health crisis, with diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes creeping into the lives of younger generations, often without their knowledge. Individuals in their 20s and 30s are increasingly plagued by these silent ailments, remaining oblivious until the damage is irreversible. This alarming trend necessitates urgent action to raise awareness and promote preventive health measures.
To combat this rising issue, Harikrit, in collaboration with the Illness to Wellness campaign and YoloHealth, hosted a full-day health screening camp at Purani Chaupal, Shahpur Jat, New Delhi. The event was graced by Shri Suresh Jain, of the Bharat Vikas Parishad, a well-established socio-cultural organisation committed to serving the community since 1963.
Participants at the health camp underwent extensive screenings covering essential health parameters like blood pressure, lipid profiles, and blood sugar levels. Among the attendees, troubling results emerged; many discovered conditions such as hypertension and obesity, with a noteworthy 20% of participants showing high HbA1c levels indicative of undiagnosed diabetes, at a reading of 200 or above. Such findings prompted realisations among attendees about their health, underscoring the importance of timely intervention.
This event forms part of a broader campaign initiated nearly a year ago that focuses on preventive healthcare through regular health camps. These camps underscore the necessity of early detection of health issues, providing a platform for individuals to obtain comprehensive health check-ups and guidance towards healthier living practices.
YoloHealth introduced its HealthATM service at the camp, showcasing an impressive blend of technology and healthcare. This innovative system combines certified medical devices with cloud-based telemedicine, significantly enhancing health monitoring capabilities and empowering individuals to make informed health choices.
Having supported senior citizens for over two decades, Harikrit aims to create a nurturing environment for the elderly through community engagement and awareness initiatives on crucial health topics, including diabetes and mental health. Their dedication bridges generation gaps by fostering connections and sharing knowledge.
Launched on March 28, 2024, the Illness to Wellness initiative has surged in popularity, following successful camps at iconic locations such as Janpath and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. With continuous growth, this campaign seeks to keep promoting health awareness and preventive care across diverse communities.
In response to the growing health concerns from modern lifestyles, Harikrit hosted a health screening camp in New Delhi, focusing on silent ailments affecting younger populations. Collaborating with the Illness to Wellness campaign and YoloHealth, the camp conducted extensive health tests that revealed alarming results for many attendees. This initiative aims to promote preventive healthcare and empower individuals to understand and manage their health effectively, leveraging technology to make health assessments accessible.
In summary, the health crisis stemming from modern lifestyles demands immediate attention, especially among younger generations who are succumbing to silent diseases. The collaboration between Harikrit, the Illness to Wellness campaign, and YoloHealth not only facilitates essential health screenings but also champions the need for preventive healthcare. With ongoing efforts such as innovative HealthATM systems and community engagement, awareness and health management continue to thrive, paving the way for healthier living.
