When your feet stop warning you, every step becomes a risk.

Reduced foot sensation is common in diabetes and nerve conditions means small injuries can go unnoticed until they become serious.

Dr. Ganapathy Gopala Krishnan, Senior Consultant, General Surgery, explains how specialised footwear from Paadham Kaapom, VHS Chennai, is helping protect vulnerable feet at an affordable price for those who need it most.

It could be more than just stress or poor sleep. Dr. M.C. Vasudevan, Head of the Department at VHS, explains that persistent morning headaches can sometimes be an early warning sign of a brain tumour especially when they're accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or blurred vision.

World ORS Day | July 29

Every case of dehydration reaches the same finish line - recovery. But the road you take decides how smooth that journey is.

Start ORS early, and you skip the detour through the emergency room. A simple solution of oral rehydration salts, taken at the first signs of fluid loss, can prevent mild dehydration from turning into a hospital visit.

💧 Don't wait for severe symptoms. Reach for ORS at the first sign.
