Observation

A total of 7 beneficiaries (1 male and 6 females) attended the Swasthya Pahal camp organised on 29th February 2024 at Sanjay Camp Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. Out of these seven beneficiaries, more than two-third of them had higher blood pressure than normal. More than two-third of them were found to be overweight/obese (n=3) and were also found to be engaged in regular physical activity (n=3). Only one (n=1) had high random blood sugar.

Additional Comments

  • Beneficiaries found the counselling session to be very informative and useful, and many of them got to know more about their health condition.
  • All the beneficiaries found the Swasthya Pahal initiative to be very helpful.

Number of beneficiaries enrolled in SHINE: SMAART Hub for Informatics enabled Nutrition Education (SHINE) Initiative aims to enhance self-management of chronic non-communicable diseases using multilingual digital HEALTH intervention tailored to enhance their knowledge regarding self- management of disease condition(s), diet, physical activity, healthy lifestyle, home-remedies, medication adherence and stress management. Among seven beneficiaries, only one of them expressed their interest in receiving informative messages for diet and lifestyle management and opted to receive messages weekly. The significant reason of not enrolling into SHINE is that the beneficiaries screened were women in majority and were found to not have basic education to comprehend the messages.
