JAMMU, May 4: To make people aware about cardiovascular diseases and cardiac ailments in rural areas, head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long cardiac awareness-cum-health check up camp at Village Pandori Brahmana block Bishnah Jammu where people from all walks of life were educated to follow cardiac friendly lifestyle and adopt environmental friendly approach to decrease the morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life.
While interacting with the people Dr Sushil stated that worsening cardiovascular health in rural India is a silent epidemic demanding urgent attention. It reflects not just a medical issue but a deep socio-economic imbalance. If the rural heart continues to falter, the entire nation’s health and productivity are at risk. To preserve the vitality of India’s villages, healthcare must be reimagined-not just in terms of infrastructure. India, a nation characterized by vibrant cultures and sprawling landscapes, is undergoing a rapid epidemiological transition. Once dominated by communicable diseases, the country now grapples with a growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While urban areas have long been the focus of healthcare interventions, rural India home to nearly 65% of the population-is now witnessing a silent and deadly shift,” Dr Sharma said.
Others who were part of the camp include Dr Venkatesh Yellupu and Dr Dhaneshwer Kapoor. Paramedics and volunteers include Raghav Rajput, Ranjeet Singh, Raj Kumar, Shubham Sharma, Vikas Kumar, Maninder Singh, Arun Singh, Rohit Nayyar, Makhan Sharma, Rajinder Singh, Paramveer Singh, Kartik Sharma and Nirvair Singh Bali.
