1 in 4 adults is prediabetic, but most don’t even know it.

Prediabetes means your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be called diabetes.

The good news? It can be reversed through simple lifestyle changes: eating balanced meals, staying active, and regular checkups.

We believe that early awareness saves lives, so please join us for a free health camp on November 6th-7th as we launch our new Department of Endocrinology and Noncommunicable Diseases, where prevention and early detection are prioritized.

You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start caring for your health.
Prevention starts with awareness, and awareness starts with you.

A balanced diet is crucial for preventing NCDs like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease because it provides the essential nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants needed to maintain a healthy body weight, manage blood pressure, and regulate blood sugar.

We believe in prevention as much as treatment, and this is why next week, we’ll be launching our new Department of Endocrinology and Non-Communicable Diseases, dedicated to helping you understand and manage these conditions better.

Join us for a free health camp on 6th–7th November, as we celebrate this milestone with free screenings and consultations.

The journey of pregnancy is often beautiful, but stress is a real and common passenger.

In today's health tip, Sr. Lydia, emphasizes that looking after your mental health is just as important as taking prenatal vitamins.

Why is managing stress so important, you ask?

Unmanaged stress can raise blood pressure, interrupt sleep and appetite, and even affect your baby's growth.

Here are some daily habits that can make all the difference:
- Rest; even short breaks matter.
- Talk openly with loved ones about how you feel.
- Take a deep breath.
