According to the 10th edition of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Atlas (2021), India has 74.2 million people with diabetes between the ages of 20 and 79 years. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for improved diabetes management and care across the country. The collaboration between BeatO and Policy Ensure is poised to play a crucial role in addressing this epidemic.
The partnership aligns with the efforts of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare under the National Health Mission (NHM). The NHM focuses on health promotion, awareness generation, early diagnosis, management, and referral for appropriate treatment of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) like diabetes. This collaboration also supports the government’s vision of a “Healthy India” and “Insured Bharat,” contributing to the goal of extending health insurance coverage to all Indians by 2047.
Comprehensive Diabetes Care for All
An initiative for the prevention, control, and screening of diabetes will be rolled out nationwide as part of Comprehensive Primary Health Care. Targeting individuals over 30 years of age, this initiative integrates the screening of common NCDs, including diabetes, into the service delivery framework.
Under this partnership, BeatO and Policy Ensure aim to provide quality diabetes care solutions, including affordable medicines, excess to quality doctors and health coaches to customers. High-quality USB-connected glucometers will be provided for constant monitoring of blood sugar levels, enabling users to maintain health records and make informed decisions about their health.
