The #COVID19 pandemic has imposed catastrophe in the #urban areas. It’s simply an index of urban vulnerability. Poor primary health care services in urban areas & neglect of public health in general are the fundamental reasons resulting in this situation universally. 1 of n
It is merely noticeable now due to the attention attracted by the #pandemic. The long-standing manifestation of urban specific health #inequities are merely getting exposed due to the fatalities attributed due to COVID-19 in urban areas. 2 of N
1 in 3 adults in India have high blood pressure. One in 10 have type 2 diabetes mellitus. The long-standing complications of these two diseases affect millions of Indians. Nearly half of the diabetics are blind by the time they know that they have diabetes. 3 of N
1/14 Dear Richard, “all we have is silence” equally applies to deadly interplay b/ #COVID19 pandemic + #NCDs epidemic. #PLWNCDs are at heightened risk of becoming severely ill or dying from #C19. Health systems are being overwhelmed with PLWNCDs becoming acutely ill.
2/14 Our recent survey shows massive disruptions in access to #NCDs services, which will result in upsurge of illness and deaths from NCDs (projections forthcoming) which failing health systems are unlikely to be able to manage.

3/14 In 2000, #WHA53 recognized that “long-term needs of #PLWNCDs are rarely dealt with”. Since then, 200 million PLWNCDs aged 30-70 have died, majority living in #LMIC. Most deaths could have been avoided or delayed.

People often ask if they should take anything specific to boost immunity; Healthy life style is the best way to build the immunity ; many simple things we all can do not only to fight #COVID19 also to prevent and control #NCD which increase the risk of severe illness and death
1. Eat 4-5 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables , protein rich diet , whole grains and moderate amount of dairy products
2. Do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity of your choice in a week - brisk walking , yoga , home work out - outdoor physical activity is safe but avoid groups and keep distance
Biggest #COVID19 casualty

However, we feel Welspun Corp’s strong cash & investment position in the #balancesheet and very low #longtermdebt will help the company withstand the current turmoil and bounce back stronger.
