The number and different types of medicines/drugs that can be bought by the public without a prescription really tells us if indian health care system is good.

The Healthcare Global Hospital in Bangalore is offering cancer treatment on EMI, and that too without interest. Healthcare Global Hospital launched the EMI scheme as too many patients were finding the high cost as painful as the treatment. The scheme has come as a boon for many cancer patients and their relatives who found treatment for cancer expensive. About 20 patients have taken up the EMI scheme so far and not one has defaulted.  Is there any other ways like this to help the patients?
Sanjay Saha  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
This is a very good step taken. This process will help in giving mental relief not only to patients but to their entire family as well. On that, since it is doing without any interest, which will make it easy for more and more people to use this.
Hiren Shah  |  Commented  |  2 years ago

It usually takes us much longer to change our moods than we’d like it to take. Here are ten things you can do in ten minutes or less that will have a positive emotional effect on you and those you love. 1. Watch "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. See it online at Oprah.com. This is a deeply moving segment that may be the best ten minutes you've ever invested in front of a computer. 2. Spend a little while watching the sunset with your mate. Nothing extra is necessary. Just sit and take in the natural beauty of the sky and appreciate being able to share it with the one you love. 3. Sit quietly by yourself. It doesn't really matter where or when. Just let your feelings bubble up and then experience the thoughts flowing out of your mind. Clearing your head and heart will give you extra energy to get through the rest of the day. 4. Write a thank you note to your mate. When was the last time you thanked your partner for just being who he or she is and being with you? Doing this in...

Education regarding causes prevention while maintaining target blood glucose levels is of utmost importance. Diabetes Diet:  A healthy diet is key to controlling blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes complications. If the patient is obese and has had difficulty losing weight on their own, talk to a health care professional. He or she can recommend a dietician or a weight modification program to help the patient reach a goal.
