Hyderabad, October 25, 2024- The Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) organised an interactive session with Dr Anand Agarwal, Chief Cardiac Surgeon, Shri Madhusudhan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Services & Edifices

Preventive health care is more important, especially in cardiology. We need the correct treatment for the correct disease. Commerce can’t dictate the treatment. Doctors must self-regulate on these aspects. The doctors must practice evidence-based treatment. Patients need to be given the right advice, said Dr. Anand Agarwal.

He spoke about young people suffering from cardiac problems. A healthy heart is a healthy family. He asked the youth to visit their website www.savetheyoungheart.com. Use our tools and techniques to improve your health and performance. Let us help you prevent heart attacks at a young age, he told them

Dr Anand Agarwal along with a battery of cardiologists has founded Save the Young Heart Foundation.

Walking and running are known to be some of the most effective methods of reducing heart diseases at the root level. For the past 3 years, the Save The Young Heart family has been conducting runs around Hyderabad, he told

Kalyan Kandukuri, Trustee and Secretary of Sri Satya Sai Sujala Sravanthi Trust said one of their wings Prashanthi Bala Mandir Trust was planning to set up 600 hospitals, one hospital in each district of the country. They also plan to set up 6000 Primary Health Centers across India and 25 tertiary hospitals for free treatment. We will focus on preventive health care. Our mission is to reach out to one billion, he told the gathering.

Ravi Kumar, Senior Vice President of FTCCI said “In the earlier part of life, People sacrifice their health to gain wealth. Later in their life, they sacrifice their assets in an attempt to regain the lost health”, it is so sad.

Giving his opening remarks, Mr. Shekhar Agarwal, Chairman of the Health Committee of FTCCI said the Vision 2030 Document brought out by them was the first of its kind by any Chambers in India. The Document was a product of six months of full-time effort by the Health Committee. Hundreds of man hours have gone into making it. Hundreds of professionals contributed their valuable inputs through several meetings and round table conferences. The effort should not go to waste. Our aim is health for all i.e. four crore people in Telangana.

Telangana is already at the forefront of healthcare in the country and has made rapid strides over the years. The purpose of this Healthcare Vision 2030 Document is an attempt to suggest solutions for Patient-Centric, Easy, Accessible, Affordable, and Quality Health Care for all Citizens in Telangana informed Mr Shekhar Agarwal.
