India's AMR Crisis: A Budgetary Perspective Meher Suri, Gayatri Menon and Shreelata Rao Seshadri, from the Centre have analyzed the gaps in India's budget allocations for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Despite a commitment at the 2024 UN General Assembly, India's spending on this "silent pandemic" shows worrying trends. Between 2012 - 2017, a dedicated AMR program had INR 112 crores allocated; in 2017 -18, that was down by 99.4% to just INR 0.13 crores, only to fluctuate since. Further, merely four states have started implementing their State Action Plans since its 2017 launch. With AMR projected to push 24 million people into poverty worldwide, this crisis needs more than statements—it needs sustained action and investment. Can India afford to let AMR slip through the cracks? #AMR #PublicHealth #HealthBudget #GlobalHealth #India #antimicrobialresistance #urbanhealth #health #universalhealthcare #publichealth #India #rcesdh #phfi #healthequity #researchforchange #empoweringcommunities #healthforall

India's economic landscape is on a trajectory to reach new heights, potentially securing the position of the third-largest economy by 2027. This growth is underpinned by strong GDP performance. However, amidst this progress, the nation grapples with substantial healthcare challenges, particularly concerning malnutrition and anaemia in rural areas. According to the Global Hunger Index 2023, India currently holds the 111th spot out of 125 countries. To progress towards a healthier nation and realise the vision of a Viksit Bharat, leveraging technology becomes imperative. The government has already embarked on crucial steps, such as establishing ABHA to provide every citizen with a unique health identity and creating an interconnected medical records system. It is now our collective responsibility as individuals and organizations to further these initiatives and drive positive change in the healthcare sector. Let's come together to explore how technology can elevate our Health Index, enabling us to overcome existing healthcare challenges and propel India towards a healthier future. #HealthcareTechnology #ViksitBharat #HealthIndexImprovement

New Research Unveils Health Crisis Among Odisha's Most Vulnerable Tribes in India A comprehensive study on Odisha's Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) reveals a complex health landscape that demands our immediate attention. This research uncovers a paradoxical coexistence of traditional health challenges and modern lifestyle diseases, highlighting the urgent need for tailored interventions. Key findings show alarmingly high rates of malnutrition alongside emerging cases of diabetes and hypertension. The prevalence of infectious diseases remains significant, while genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia pose unique challenges. Perhaps most concerning is the high rate of substance abuse and emerging mental health issues among these communities. This study not only sheds light on the multifaceted health challenges faced by PVTGs but also emphasizes the critical importance of culturally sensitive, holistic healthcare approaches. We must advocate for policies that address both the immediate health needs and the underlying socio-economic factors affecting these vulnerable populations. The question now is: How can we leverage this knowledge to create sustainable, community-driven health solutions that respect traditional practices while embracing modern healthcare advancements?
