Reliving Health Awareness Campaigns and Programs Spearheaded by Voh With Leaders & Veterans.
Turning the spotlight where it’s due… Breaking down silos to synergize the forces of progress…. Brainstorming roadmaps to address the burning issues of the day… yes, we have been fairly busy all through 2021. Here’s a recap of the events and programs we hosted all year - bringing leading luminaries and amplifying priorities under a common roof to take healthcare forward - as a united force of change.
Here’s a glimpse.
With healthcare policy a state subject, the onus and spotlight is squarely on every state of our Republic to mobilize resources, innovate frameworks and spearhead initiatives that can trump stubborn challenges, convert new opportunities and optimize Indian healthcare for the greatest common good.
VOH organized the STATE HEALTH CONCLAVE 2021 with leading minds and visionaries from all walks of healthcare to encourage community dialogues and trigger constructive narratives around this need-of-the-hour.
From hybrid care and delivery models, to breakthroughs in medical technologies, to fostering entrepreneurial innovation, to our collective role in COVID-19 vaccination, the CONCLAVE aimed to take a deep-dive into the state of healthcare from diverse angles, generating valuable visibility into key indicators and emerging with exigent policy priorities and actionable roadmaps that have the power to engineer sustainable forward advancement for India - one state at a time.

Saviour, guardian, guide, 3 AM confidant, philosopher, friend, superhero. As the pandemic swept through the nation (and, indeed, the world), doctors stepped way beyond the textbook and took on incredible new roles and journeys to help a population fighting for life and struggling for sanity.
On Doctor's Day, VOH paid tribute to the outstanding display of courage and leadership of doctors. We appraised and analyzed a year that has probably changed the way we look at this august profession forever. And we cast a glance at the evolving nature of the doctor's role in the future – in the company of some of the domain's foremost minds.

Organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action, the World Health Organization and UNICEF, WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK – organized annually from 1 to 7 August across 120+ countries – promotes exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life.
The practice is known to bestow multiple health benefits upon a new-born, such as providing critical nutrients, protecting from deadly diseases such as pneumonia and fostering growth and development.
To celebrate the goal and trigger critical narratives around its awareness and adoption, VOH (Voice of Healthcare) invited eminent gynaecologists, public health activists, pharmaceutical companies & other stakeholders connected with this space.
Over a series of panel discussions, one-on-ones and leadership bytes, we attempted to seed and multiply big ideas, experiences and recommendations on this sensitive and significant topic.

Eating Smart, From the Start
Nothing plays a bigger role in promoting lifelong health than what we eat. A scientific and balanced diet habit improves the health of both body and mind while eliminating negatives like morbidity, obesity, stress and illnesses.
VOH hosted NUTRITION WEEK CONCLAVE from 1st to 7th September to reboot our approach to nutrition by bridging the two vital ends of the spectrum: Planners and practitioners.
Burning issues like policy review, dynamics of malnutrition, fostering infant & child health, evaluating success in institutions and organizations, decoding best practices, product innovation focus, behaviour change strategies and the role of entrepreneurship went under the scanner.
A series of insightful and timely Panel Discussions, Leader Talks and Q&A sessions inspired and informed the community and ecosystem on what must go on our plate - if our collective future has to be healthy.

Discussing Dementia. Decoding Alzheimer’s
Dementia is a syndrome causing deterioration in cognitive function, affecting mainly older people. Currently more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70% of cases.
Recognizing that until a definitive cure is found, care and awareness remain the most effective solutions to counter the dual conditions, Voice of Healthcare – in association with partners - brought together leading minds and experts on an exclusive program - ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & DEMENTIA TALK - that was hosted on 26th October at 3:0Pm - 4:00 Pm.
From diagnosis and testing to medication and therapy to diet, exercise & lifestyle management to creating a supporting ecosystem, we travelled the entire spectrum – and emerged with meaningful perspectives and actionable answers. In the process, we served our big goal : To challenge the status quo, amplify awareness and synergize the community on critical narratives around ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & DEMENTIA.

Accounting for 14% of all cancers in Indian and reported every 4 minutes, breast cancer is today amongst the most common type of cancer in women. Not only that, its incidence is on the rise both in rural and urban India. But there's good news. Age-standardized mortality in high-income countries have been coming down steadily. Breast cancer treatment can deliver higher effective outcomes : When detected early, survival probabilities can reach 90% or more. The world health Organization (WHO) has defined and deployed its global goal to bring down breast cancer related mortality by 2.5% annually, thereby hoping to avert 2.5 million breast cancer deaths globally between 2020 and 2040.
Voice of Healthcare – in association with Viatris - organized a month long online campaign during BREAST CANCER.
The virtual event - designed in the form of power panel discussions, Q&A sessions and One-on-Ones, amongst other formats - was attended by government dignitaries and top Key Opinion Leaders of India who shared their views & expert thoughts through exclusive interviews.
