India faces development of lung disease crisis; Hinduja hospital leads preventive push
Supported by the Hinduja Group’s commitment to public health, Hinduja Hospital is leading this leadership through medical knowledge and community action. Providing better breathing health for everyone ultimately depends on personal awareness and wise decisions and group efforts.
Lung diseases including tuberculosis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affect millions of Indians, which has inspired attention to respiratory health. To get rid of these challenges, proactive approaches to community engagement, preventive care and access to professional medical knowledge are needed.
The Hinduja family has been ensuring quality health care for everyone through the Hinduja Group and its healthcare programs. In this goal, PD Hinduja Hospital is committed to improving lung health through advocacy campaigns, education and preventive care programs.
Increased burden of lung disease in India
Dr Lancelot Pinto, a pulmonologist and epidemiologist at PD Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai, claimed that environmental factors and personal health problems can lead to lung disease.
“We have to work first on the environment around us and then we have to work personally to save our lungs,” he stressed.
Smoking, air pollution and biomass fuel exposure rank the highest among causes of respiratory illness. In India, one of the main causes of death is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which can be associated with prolonged contamination even in non-smoking populations. Poor air quality can aggravate cough, difficulty breathing, frequent respiratory infections and other diseases.
Preventive health care plan at Hinduja Hospital
PD-Hindu hospitals’ dedication to respiratory health goes beyond medical care. They also emphasize proactive and preventive measures through specific community advocacy programs, including free vital capacity tests and lung function assessments as part of the community screening program.
At the same time, the open consciousness movement informs people about their lifestyles, smoking and pollution are for the sake of lung condition. In addition, a drive to vaccination against pneumonia and flu is planned to protect vulnerable groups. The hospital also offers a comprehensive anti-smoking program, including medical support and counseling, to enable individuals to effectively give up.
These projects complement the larger goals of the Hinduja family and the Hinduja Group to provide all the goals of accessing high-quality health care.
Air pollution parts in lung function
Dr. Pinto highlights how severe air pollution affects respiratory health and compares long-term polluted air exposure to the effects of chronic smoking.
“Study shows that air pollution significantly reduces life expectancy. Many of our cities have air quality similar to smoking daily,” he said.
Children are particularly vulnerable because birth exposes their still developing lungs to excessively high contaminants. By choosing green fuels, enforcing stricter emission rules and implementing sustainable urban planning, the hospital itself can help legislate changes. It supports locally driven programs designed to improve air quality.
The prospect of health prospects
Kamal Hinduja’s Hinduja’s wife, Prakash Hinduja’s wife, emphasized the hospital’s dedication to the health of the community.
“Hinduja Hospital’s mission is based on a comprehensive view of health care, as true well-being goes beyond treatment. Our group of doctors is committed to providing individuals with knowledge and tools to avoid illness and stay healthy over time. A particular emphasis is placed on lung health, especially as we strive to raise community awareness and provide top-notch treatment.
Under the guidance of the Hinduja family, the Hinduja Foundation is committed to supporting programs in healthcare to help those in need and to ensure that necessary medical treatment is not deprived of due to lack of income.
The way forward: Have lung health
Citizens, businesses, politicians, and doctors in each department can improve their respiratory health through comprehensive efforts. The main strategy is to implement strict environmental laws, leverage renewable energy to reduce air pollution, provide preventive care in the form of vaccination and testing, and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Supported by the Hinduja Group’s commitment to public health, Hinduja Hospital is leading this leadership through medical knowledge and community action. Providing better breathing health for everyone ultimately depends on personal awareness and wise decisions and group efforts.
