Through the ‘Second Life’ Initiative, Aster Hospitals in India has committed to offering free surgery to 100 poor children.

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Launched on occasion of Children’s Day in India, as a part of Aster Volunteers Global CSR programme, ‘Second Life – Because Little Lives Matter’ will help at least 100 underprivileged children below 12 years over a period of a year by providing free paediatric surgeries

Bangalore, 15th November 2021:  On occasion of Children’s Day, Aster Hospitals in India, as a part of Aster Volunteers Global CSR initiative has launched the ‘Second Life- Because Little Lives Matter’ initiative. The yearlong initiative is aimed at supporting the medical treatment of disadvantaged children, where the initial aim is to help treat at least 100 children below the age of 12 years by providing free paediatric surgeries. The initiative extends help to deserving children who are being treated across Aster Hospitals based in 5 States in India.

This includes common childhood surgeries such as appendicitis, intussusception, empyema and paediatric urology surgeries as well as complex clinical surgeries including bone marrow transplant, liver transplants, heart surgeries, etc. Dr. Nitish Shetty, Regional Director, Aster Hospitals, Karnataka and Maharashtra Cluster, Mr. Farhan Yasin, Regional Director, Aster Hospitals – Kerala & Oman Cluster and Mr. Devanand KT, Regional CEO, Aster Hospitals – Telangana & Andhra Pradesh Cluster were present at the launch of the campaign in Bangalore, today.

The treatment will be funded by Aster DM Foundation or with the support of philanthropists / NGOs. A criterion has been established by the foundation to identify the eligibility of cases for the program; these will be assessed based on the socio- economic status and BPL category as well as the medical outcome of the child prior to commencement of selection and subsequent treatment. Furthermore, a 24X7 multi- lingual helpline number has been set up at Calicut to manage enquiries, the helpline can be accessed by dialing +91 9633620660.

Speaking on the initiative Dr. Azad Moopen,  Founder Chairman and Managing Director, Aster DM Healthcare said, “In India, where a significant segment of the population still remains below the poverty line, many families with an ailing child struggle to afford the advanced surgery needed to save the lives of their little ones. In most cases, paediatric organ transplants, bone-marrow transplant, cardiac surgeries or even common surgeries can not only give young children a second shot at a better life but also save an entire family from falling into the depths of despair. While our Aster Hospitals in India, based in the 5 States, have emerged as Centres of Excellence in advanced paediatric care and surgeries and our doctors have been known to set global benchmarks in advanced surgical interventions, we sincerely hope that with this effort, we are able to provide a second chance to young children to live their lives to the fullest and achieve their dreams.”

Dr. Nitish Shetty,  Regional Director, Aster Hospitals, Karnataka and Maharashtra Cluster added, “The launch of the Second Life Initiative is to structure a change that will eventually have a positive impact on the lives of disadvantaged children from a long-term perspective. We aim to leverage inherent and individual strengths of several of our hospitals to fulfil and deliver on these clinical interventions. At Aster, it is our motto to bring great healthcare within the reach of all individuals, our highly experienced experts at Aster Hospital’s will be dedicating a minimum 10% of their man hours to help these children and give them a well-deserved second chance at life”.

The world’s first nutraceuticals academy, Nutrify Today, has opened its doors.

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

The academy will focus on elevating skill sets in the nutraceuticals category to keep pace with industry growth.

Bangalore, Nov. 11, 2021– Nutrify Today has announced it has launched the Nutrify Today Academy (https://academy.nutrifytoday.com/), the world’s first Nutraceuticals Academy, aimed at elevating skill sets for working executives in the nutraceuticals category to stay in sync with the industry’s growth. The Nutrify Today Academy, with dual bases in Mumbai and Bangalore, India, will initially focus on India and Asia before expanding to other key global nutraceutical markets through an online curriculum.  Several universities including GITAM, Centurion University, AIC-CCMB, National Research and Development Corporation of India, Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, and others, will have strong academic affiliations with the Nutrify Today Academy.

According to Amit Srivastava, chief catalyst for Nutrify Today, the Nutrify Today Academy will also provide access to university students studying pharma, food technology, biochemistry, and chemical engineering who want to pursue a career in nutraceutical ingredient formulation. The Nutrify Today Academy expects to train a minimum of 5,000 professionals by 2024. Explaining the rationale behind the launch of the academy, Srivastava said, “India is currently a USD$8 billion market, however, we expect exports to grow significantly. Stakeholders in the sector predict that by 2025, the industry will be valued USD$40 billion, and by 2030, it will be worth as much as USD$100 billion.”

The Academy’s faculty will consist of senior industry professionals and senior academicians, thus providing an inside view of the industry. “The Nutrify Today Academy is an industry educational platform that will help nutraceutical professionals expand their business acumen. The industry is eagerly seeking people who are knowledgeable about product formulations, scientific and overall business development,” said Srivastava.

Initial Nutrify Today Academy industry leaders will include Dr. Balkumar Marthi, the former R&D head of Unilever, Brijesh Kapil, former Procter & Gamble India board member, Naaznin Hussein, former president of the Indian Dietetics Association and key opinion leader, Sheldon Baker, Baker Dillon Group chief executive officer and nutraceutical brand marketing leader from the U.S., as well as other industry professionals who will play a key role in Academy development. The Academy will also have major companies from India and the U.S. advising on course direction.

“The Academy will provide corporate executives with a greater understanding about idea-to-commercialization view of the industry and provide university students a look at the professional and corporate side of the industry,” said Baker. “From my brand marketing and PR experience, much of the current global market is not keenly aware of the need to develop ongoing company and product marketing strategies. I will try to enlighten course participants of such a need, the cost involved and which directions they might want to consider.”

Nutraceuticals is still considered a relatively new field of study in the India healthcare industry. It recognizes the importance of healthy lifestyle habits and creating a sustainable and a healthy world. Nutraceuticals have sparked much attention in recent years because of its potential nutritional, safety, and medicinal advantages, and as an industry, has the potential for growing to USD$100 billion market by 2030. 

The post-pandemic expansion of nutraceuticals in India has attracted global attention creating an Indian nutraceuticals demand in the U.S. and international nutraceuticals entering India. Nutrify Today is the world’s first platform that has taken an idea from conception to commercialization in half the time it takes to traditionally execute it development. This platform currently has over 10,000 executives from nutraceuticals, government, investors, and regulatory bodies from India and other global markets.
