PGI Initiative Targets Rising Heart Disease

PGI Initiative Targets Rising Heart Disease

The PGI has started a health initiative called 'Stop The Attack Before It Strikes' to help people prevent heart disease.

Heart problems are a big issue in India, especially among younger adults and women.

The PGI's Preventive Clinic, which opened a year ago, helps people between 18 and 40 years old make healthier choices.

They check what people eat, how they feel, and their blood tests.

Then, they give advice on how to live a healthier life.

The clinic faces some challenges, like not enough people completing all the tests and not enough exercise.

But they are trying to make things better by making it easier for people to join and by teaching simple exercises like yoga.

Dr. Dahiya says that even if ten people improve their lives because of this, it's a big success.
