When will the research report come
A total of three subjects are under research study. Earlier there was information that the report of the study would be released in July 2023. But ICMR is doing a very deep study regarding the initial report of the study. In such a situation, there is an effort that its data or any information related to it will be made public only when it is fully confirmed.
What work is the government doing for the victims?
To address the health problems related to heart disease, the Department of Health and Family Welfare of the Center provides technical and financial assistance to the states and union territories under the National Program for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD).
Patients with heart disease are being provided treatment and health facilities in medical colleges, central institutions like AIIMS, central government hospitals and private sector hospitals.
AIIMS and several large health institutions also focus on heart disease and its various aspects under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana.
Health insurance cover for treatment up to 5 lakhs has been provided every year under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. More than 60 crore beneficiaries are getting its benefits.
