The Vice President praised AAPI and its noble \u201cmission for India is to play\nan important role in making quality healthcare accessible and affordable to all\npeople of India. It is indeed a laudable objective as both accessibility and\naffordability are the need of the hour, especially in a vast developing country\nlike India with a huge population of middle class and lower middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnly a healthy nation can be a progressive and wealthy nation,\u201d the Vice\nPresident of India, said. \u201cIndia has launched \u2018Ayushman Bharat\u2019, touted to be\nthe world\u2019s largest health insurance scheme, under the aegis of which 10 lakh\npeople have already received free treatment under the scheme,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vice president said that while India is progressing economically and\nincomes of people are improving, the common man is unable to meet the medical\nbill whenever there is a medical emergency in the family. With penetration of\nhealth insurance remaining quite low and majority of the Indian population\npreferring to seek medical treatment from private sector in health emergencies\nby spending from their own pockets, this problem gets compounded, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe central and the state government must together spend more in the health\nsector. Also people should be educated about getting health insurance. Many\npeople in India are worried about the cost but health insurance is very much\nrequired,\u201d Naidu said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naidu said there were 69.1 million cases of diabetes in\nIndia, according to a 2015 census, and called for the need to create greater\nawareness among the youth about the dangers of sedentary lifestyle and eating\njunk food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe modern day lifestyle is creating serious health hazards. The doctors\nshould indicate the people to go back to their cultural roots and follow the\ndisciplined, systematic lifestyle. Diabetes is a major challenge faced in the country,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pointing to studies, Naidu said, \u201cIndia\u2019s burden of diseases has shifted\nfrom communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases as incomes rose over\nthe last 26 years. More deaths (61.8 per cent) were caused by non-communicable\ndiseases such as cardio-vascular diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary\ndisease in 2016 as against 53.6 per cent deaths due to communicable, maternal,\nneonatal and nutritional diseases in 1990.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
