Still here?

It was an evening of distress and disappointment for Dr. Sandhya Ravi, breast specialist, when 3 new cases of breast cancer were detected among young women in a span of one hour at her clinic. From her three decades of clinical practice and research experience, she was very sure all the three cases could have been prevented if they had taken measures to change their life style. The question that was troubling her was are doctors here only to treat diseases?

 

Whose responsibility is prevention? This was her moment of calling. Thus Prameya was born and the rest is history. Four years and 2000 patients later, Prameya is a vibrant centre today for like minded professionals and people who are passionate about prevention and supportive care. 

 

What can be prevented? Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and even cancer are preventable or reversible by changing life style. Almost 70% of these are due to modifiable risk factors such as obesity, sedentary life style, wrong food, tobacco and alcohol use and can be prevented by changing their life style.

 

Prameya’s journey has just begun. Join us in building healthy communities.
