Sitharaman announces final tranche of economic stimulus The Centre has announced suspension of new bankruptcy filings on loan defaults for one year and raised the threshold for insolvency as it moved to ease COVID-19 pain for the industry. It also announced a new policy for companies under state control saying public sector undertakings under the non-strategic sector will be privatised while those in the identified strategic sector would be capped by not more than four by merging some of them. In the fifth and final tranche of the economic stimulus package, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised allocation for employment guarantee scheme by Rs 40,000 crore over and above the Rs 61,000 crore budgeted earlier for MGNREGS, to provide employment to migrant workers moving back to their states. This, she said, will help generate nearly 300 crore person-days in total. For industries, she said the minimum threshold to initiate insolvency proceedings will be raised to Rs 1 crore from Rs 1 lakh, which largely insulates micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from bankruptcy on defaulting on loans. Also, a special insolvency resolution framework for MSMEs under Section 240A of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) will be notified soon, she said adding that fresh initiation of insolvency proceedings will be suspended up to one year depending upon the pandemic situation. Coronavirus-related debt will be excluded from the definition of "default" under the IBC for the purpose of triggering insolvency proceedings, she said adding that the changes will be effected by promulgating an ordinance. Additionally, minor technical and procedural defaults under the Companies Act such as shortcomings in CSR reporting, inadequacies in board report, filing defaults, and delay in holding AGM will be decriminalised. Last week, the government pledged a Rs 20 lakh crore (nearly 10 per cent of gross domestic product) package to support the economy headed for its first full-year contraction in more than four decades.

States want longer lockdown, want clarity on movement of workers

West Bengal accused the Centre of sending mixed signals with the relaxation of some curbs, while Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha, facing the prospect of hundreds of migrant labourers returning, asked it to specify guidelines in this regard. Most states on Monday indicated at the videoconference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi that they wanted the lockdown to continue in some form post-May 3, while adding that they would follow the Centre’s lead on the matter. West Bengal accused the Centre of sending mixed signals with the relaxation of some curbs, while Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha, facing the prospect of hundreds of migrant labourers returning, asked it to specify guidelines in this regard. The PM, one Chief Minister said, did not respond to demands for an economic package. “The mood was in favour of continuing the lockdown with concessions,” Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy said, while telling The Indian Express that Modi praised Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot for his handling of the coronavirus issue. Again, Andhra Pradesh was among the few states to seek relaxation. Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said that with 80% of the state a virus-free “green zone”, this may be considered. However, Jagan did not say if the state would lift restrictions after May 3. In a televised address later in the day, the CM said that with a vaccine not likely for a year, developing herd immunity was the only option.

 Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the interaction with Chief Ministers. (Twitter/PIB) Maharashtra, the state with the most coronavirus numbers, indicated that it could continue the lockdown. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar sought directions on the issue of its students stuck in Kota and other places, as well as on migrant labourers, while leaving a decision on extension of the lockdown to the Centre. Facing flak for not bringing back students from Kota, he said unless there was a direction from the Centre, it amounted to violation of the curbs. On whether the lockdown should go on after May 3, Nitish said, “Experts should be consulted. Bihar will abide by whatever decision the Centre takes.” It also expressed concern over people returning to the state without screening. Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik sought framing of a national SOP for movement of people stranded across the country. The state estimates that over five lakh of its workers are stranded in different parts of the country. Narayanasamy, who raised the issue of students stuck abroad, said the PM made a “passing remark” saying the migrant labour issue has to be considered, but did not offer any solution.

 Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha, facing the prospect of hundreds of migrant labourers returning, asked it to specify guidelines in this regard. (Express File Photo) “The Chief Ministers were unanimous in telling the PM that the way in which the coronavirus cases are increasing, there should be a cautious approach and the PM has to take a call on the basis of observations by CMs. Most of the BJP-ruled CMs said the lockdown should continue and economic activity should be slowly started,” he said. Narayanasamy said he was among the CMs who sought an economic package, as well as the states’ share of GST revenues. “The PM did not respond to that directly. He praised state governments for doing a Herculean task… He praised the Rajasthan CM for his handling of the coronavirus issue,” the CM said. According to him, the PM said, “Every state has some party in power, which realises that it has a chance to take the country forward. Hamein reform bhi karna hai. Agar reform karne ki disha mein rajya initiative leta hai, aap dekhiye yeh sankat ko hum bohot bade avsar main palat sakte hain. Main Ashok Gehlotji ko badhai dunga. Unhone kai initiative liye. Unhone labour ke liye samay seema ki bi badotri ki hai. Theek hai alochana thodi hue hogi, lekin Rajasthan ne disha dikhayi hai (We have to carry out reforms. If a state takes an initiative for reform, we can turn this crisis into a big opportunity. I want to congratulate Ashok Gehlot. He has taken many initiatives. He has increased the time limit for labourers as well. There must have some criticism, but Rajasthan has shown the way).” The Prime Minister was apparently referring to the Rajasthan government’s decision to increase working time in factories from 8 hours to 12 hours. Naryanasamy also said there should no general policy regarding opening of shops with states given the freedom to decide on this. Accusing the Centre of making contradictory statements, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee wanted greater clarity on the Home Ministry order regarding this. “We are in favour of the lockdown. But the Centre on one hand emphasises on this, and on other hand, issues orders to open shops. If you open shops, how will you enforce the lockdown?” Banerjee said. She added that the state would plan up to May 21. “From the Prime Minister’s speech, it was clear that this will continue for long.” Fighting a surge in numbers and a high fatality rate, Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani called for a “phased” lifting of the lockdown, “citing the interests of small and medium entrepreneurs and labourers”. He said at the video-conference that most of the deaths in the state were due to co-morbidities. Having directed opening of single-unit shops except in containment zones on Saturday, Gujarat has revoked the order for Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Rajkot and Surat. Rupani said he had received representations from shopkeepers saying they preferred staying closed till May 3, while adding that the state would go by what the Centre decides. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath did not give any indication of the state’s plan, even as he ordered officials on Monday to create facilities to quarantine about 10-15 lakh people. Significantly, it also arranged to bring home about 10,000 students from different districts of the state stuck in Prayagraj. Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, however, said the state was in no position to bring back its students or labourers. “We Jharkhandis are being punished for following the Central government orders… We have been saying that we want to bring (stranded students, labourers) back. But the MHA issued orders that ban inter-state travel till May 3… Other states are flouting the orders and we have been left helpless,” Soren said at a press conference. He added that the state won’t open shops as yet, but would follow the Cente’s decision on lifting the lockdown. Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar urged the government to remove the uncertainty around dates of competitive examinations. Punjab sought the Centre’s permission for reopening of small shops, businesses and industries in all areas except containment zones. CM Amarinder Singh also wrote a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah, as he was not among the nine CMs to speak at the video-conference, where he mentioned the state’s financial health. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said the state had told the Centre that the lockdown can continue partially till May 15, advising “a cautious approach” on lifting restrictions. “Considering the peculiar situation in Kerala, partial lockdown can be continued until May 15. The course after May 15 can be decided reviewing the then situation,” the CM said. Tamil Nadu CM K Palaniswami sought more RT-PCR kits for the state to take testing up from 10,000 a day from 7,500. Its stand on extension of the lockdown curbs, however, was unclear. Meghalaya CM Conrad Sangma said the lockdown in the state will continue post May 3 with relaxation in non-COVID-19 districts. Meghalaya has 11 active positive cases. Sangma also suggested an “Economic Task Force” including all states to suggest solutions to initiate economic activities. “There is an economic state-to-state dependence. The establishment of an economic task force will help states,” he said. Madhya Pradesh said it would wait for the Centre’s guidelines to decide its post-May 3 plan, while Telangana CM K Chandrashekar Rao said the lockdown should be extended if necessary as it was the only weapon against the virus.

Lockdown set to be extended as 1,000-plus new cases push India tally above 8,000

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/lockdown-set-to-be-extended-as-1000-plus-new-cases-push-india-tally-above-8000/

Lockdown set to be extended as 1,000-plus new cases push India tally above 8,000

NEW DELHI: The nationwide lockdown to contain the deadly coronavirus looks set to be extended by two more weeks till April-end after a consensus emerged among states on Saturday for continuing the curbs amid the tally of confirmed infections crossing 8,000 with a record increase of over 1,000 cases within 24 hours.

While Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked state governments to take steps to curb the lockdown violations and ensure adherence to social distancing, he also announced a shift in focus from ‘Jaan hai to jahaan hai’ (health is wealth) to ‘Jaan bhi, jahaan bhi’ (lives as well as livelihoods), which many saw as indications towards relaxations for certain economic activities, including for industrial and agriculture sector.

The next 3-4 weeks would be critical to determine the impact of steps taken till now to curb the virus spread, Modi told the chief ministers.

During their interaction, several chief ministers demanded financial and fiscal relief from the Centre to fight the pandemic, while Modi suggested measures to incentivise direct marketing of farm produce to help farmers, among other steps to help the country remain healthy and to prosper too. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said the states have demanded Rs 10 lakh crore package.

Modi also said the crisis is an opportunity to become self-reliant and turn the nation into an economic powerhouse.

Maharashtra, which became the third state to announce an extension in the lockdown after Odisha and Punjab even before an official extension to the nationwide lockdown, was much more clearer in announcing that areas identified as hotspots of the virus spread would see stricter curbs while restrictions would be relaxed in unaffected areas.

After attending Modi’s interaction with chief ministers, Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said the second phase of the two-week lockdown would not be the same as the ongoing three-week one, which entered its 18th day and was originally scheduled to last until April 14.

“The Prime Minister said during the next fifteen days lockdown will be relaxed in graded manner… Agriculture and industrial sectors will be given relaxation. Government offices will be allowed to function with partial strength. He (Modi) will announce such measures soon,” Yediyurappa said.

Separately, sources said all central ministers have been asked to resume office from Monday and put together plans for post-lockdown period to kick-start the economy. All ministries have also been directed that joint secretary and above rank officers will resume work in respective departments and one-third of the essential staff members in every ministry need to be present.

While government officials said guidelines for the second phase of lockdown would be announced in next few days, the Union Health Ministry said testing and treatment infrastructures were being augmented on a daily basis and asserted that the number of confirmed cases could have reached 8.2 lakh by April 15 in the absence of a lockdown and other containment measures.

In its evening update as on 5 PM, the Ministry put the number of confirmed cases so far across the country at 7,529 with 242 deaths. These results are from nearly 1.7 lakh tests conducted so far across the country. According to the Ministry, 1,035 new cases and 40 deaths were reported in 24 hours till Saturday afternoon.

However, a PTI tally of numbers reported by various states as on 6.30 PM showed at least 8,016 positive coronavirus cases and 261 deaths. More than 800 people have been cured and discharged so far.

Fresh cases were reported from various places, including in Maharashtra, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

While Maharashtra saw its tally of confirmed cases rising to at least 1,666, Mumbai alone has more than 1,100 cases now. Tamil Nadu and Delhi have also seen their respective numbers cross the 1,000-mark, while Rajasthan has over 600 cases. The states with over 400 cases included Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.

The death toll in Maharashtra alone has reached 110.

Announcing an extension to the lockdown till April 30 soon after attending Modi’s interaction with chief ministers, Maharashtra’s Uddhav Thackeray said that the lockdown can be relaxed in certain areas while in others it will become stricter. The state’s Health Minister Rajesh Tope said the lockdown can be extended even beyond April if norms are flouted.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Modi also suggested specific measures for agriculture and allied sector including modification of APMC (Agriculture Produce Market Committee) laws to facilitate sale of farm produce. He also referred to the newly launched ‘Aarogya Setu’ app — which can tell an individual whether he or she has come in close vicinity of an infected person or area, as “an essential tool in our fight against COVID-19” which can subsequently act as an e-pass to facilitate travel from one place to another.

Modi, who himself was seen wearing a white mask during the video conference, also condemned attacks on health professionals and incidents of misbehaviour with students from North-East and Kashmir. He also said measures are being taken to ensure availability of protective gear and critical equipment for all front-line workers.

He assured the states that the country has adequate supplies of essential medicines and gave a stern message against black marketing and hoarding.

Observing that the combined efforts of the Centre and states have helped reduce the impact of COVID-19, he said the situation is rapidly evolving and constant vigilance is paramount.

On the exit plan from the lockdown, Modi said there seems to be a consensus amongst the states on an extension by another two weeks, but underlined that the government wants to not only save lives but also livelihoods.

“While announcing the lockdown, I had said ‘jaan hai to jahan hai’… Most people in the country understood it and discharged their responsibilities by remaining indoors. And now it is imperative to focus on both aspects, ‘Jaan bhi Jahan Bhi’, for India’s bright future, and prosperous and healthy India,” Modi said.

While Modi asked states to curb violations to the lockdown conditions, the Union Home Ministry separately has written to the West Bengal state administration, flagging a “gradual dilution” of lockdown in the state including by allowing permission to hold religious gatherings and keep open shops of non-essential goods.

In another communication to all states and union territories, the Union Health Ministry has asked them to prohibit the use and spitting of smokeless tobacco in public places as spitting in public places could enhance the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

Ever since its emergence in China last December, more than 17 lakh people have tested positive for this deadly virus globally, while more than 1 lakh people have died. The US reported more than 2,000 deaths in a single day on Friday, while France also reported over 1,000 deaths in a day. An estimated 3.4 lakh people are considered to have recovered from COVID-19 so far.

Essential Basic Health Check-Up Tests in Bhubaneswar: What You Need to Know

Staying healthy has become more important than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Regular health check-ups are a simple way to keep an eye on your well-being and detect potential issues before they become major problems. If you live in Bhubaneswar or anywhere in Odisha, you're in luck! The availability of basic health check-up packages makes it easy to monitor your health regularly. This guide will walk you through the essential tests included in these packages, their benefits, and how to choose the best health test package at home in Odisha.

Why Regular Health Check-Ups Are Essential

Before diving into the specifics of basic health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar, it’s important to understand why regular health check-ups are crucial. These check-ups serve as a preventive measure, helping detect underlying conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or cholesterol imbalances early. They also allow doctors to recommend lifestyle changes or treatments to avoid serious health complications down the line.

More than just a way to catch issues, health check-ups are an opportunity to understand your body better. Whether you’re in your 20s or 60s, there are specific health markers that need to be monitored, and a well-rounded health check-up package can cover these.

What Is Included in a Basic Health Check-Up Test in Bhubaneswar?

Basic health check-up tests in Bhubaneswar typically cover the essential screenings needed to give you an overall picture of your health. Here are the most common tests included in these packages:

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The CBC test measures different components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test is critical for detecting infections, anemia, and other blood disorders. A CBC test can provide key insights into your overall health.

2. Blood Sugar Levels

Monitoring your blood sugar is crucial for catching early signs of diabetes. The fasting blood sugar test or HbA1c test helps assess your glucose levels over time. If you’re at risk for diabetes, regular checks can help you manage it effectively.

3. Lipid Profile

This test measures cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood, helping to evaluate your heart health. High cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease, strokes, or clogged arteries. A lipid profile helps you know if you need to adjust your diet or take medication to lower cholesterol levels.

4. Liver Function Tests

The liver plays a critical role in filtering toxins from your blood, producing proteins, and aiding digestion. Liver function tests measure enzymes and proteins in the blood to assess how well your liver is performing. If you have a history of alcohol use, obesity, or liver diseases, this test is a must.

5. Kidney Function Tests

Your kidneys help regulate the balance of fluids and electrolytes in your body while also filtering waste. A basic health check-up will usually include kidney function tests like creatinine and urea levels, which help determine if your kidneys are working properly.

6. Thyroid Function Test

The thyroid regulates several bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and development. An imbalance in thyroid hormones can lead to symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, and mood changes. A thyroid test measures hormone levels to check if your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism).

7. Urine Test

A routine urinalysis checks for various substances, like proteins or glucose, that may indicate kidney issues, infections, or even diabetes. It’s an important part of any health check-up package to rule out urinary tract infections and other conditions.

8. ECG (Electrocardiogram)

An ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. If you have a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or symptoms like chest pain, an ECG is a valuable tool for detecting heart problems.

9. Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 Tests

Vitamins play a crucial role in maintaining bone health, immune function, and overall energy levels. Low levels of Vitamin D or B12 can lead to a range of issues, from fatigue to weak bones. Checking these levels ensures that you're not missing out on essential nutrients.

How Often Should You Get a Health Check-Up?

How often you need a health check-up depends on several factors, including your age, family medical history, and lifestyle choices. For most healthy adults, an annual or biennial health check-up is sufficient. However, if you have pre-existing conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, more frequent check-ups might be necessary.

For younger individuals, once every two years is usually recommended unless specific health issues arise. For those above the age of 40, annual check-ups become more critical due to the increased risk of health complications like heart disease or diabetes.

Choosing the Right Health Check-Up Test Packages in Odisha

With so many health check-up test packages in Odisha available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is right for you. Here are a few tips to help you make the right choice:

1. Understand Your Needs

Are you looking for a basic check-up or something more comprehensive? If you’re under 40 and generally healthy, a basic health check-up package may suffice. However, if you have risk factors like a family history of heart disease or diabetes, consider opting for a more extensive package that includes tests like ECG, chest X-rays, and more detailed blood work.

Ensure that the diagnostic center you choose is accredited and reputable. In Bhubaneswar, many centers offer health test packages at home in Odisha, allowing you to get tested from the comfort of your own home. Make sure that the lab follows proper protocols for testing and that their equipment is up to date.

Not all health check-up packages are priced the same. It’s wise to compare the services included in each package and their costs. Some centers offer additional consultations with a physician or dietician as part of the package, which can add value to your investment.

4. Home Collection Services

With today’s busy schedules, the convenience of health test packages at home in Odisha is a game-changer. Many diagnostic centers now offer this service, where trained professionals collect samples from your home, eliminating the need to visit a clinic. This is especially helpful for elderly individuals or those with mobility issues.

However, keeping an eye on your health is more important than ever. One way to do this is by opting for basic health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar. These comprehensive health check-ups can help you detect potential health issues early and manage them before they turn into serious concerns. Whether you're in Bhubaneswar or anywhere in Odisha, a basic health check-up test can give you a clear snapshot of your health.

This blog will explore the importance of health check-ups, the benefits of choosing a basic health check-up package in Bhubaneswar, and the convenience of health check-up services available in the region.

What Are Basic Health Check-Up Packages?

A basic health check-up package is a group of medical tests designed to assess your overall health. These packages are comprehensive yet straightforward and can include tests for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels, thyroid function, and more. Health check-up test packages often cover essential areas like cardiovascular health, metabolic health, liver function, and kidney health.

In Bhubaneswar, these packages are customized to address common health concerns faced by people in the region, making them highly relevant for early diagnosis and health maintenance.

Why Consider Basic Health Check-Up Packages in Bhubaneswar?

1. Early Detection of Health Issues

One of the most significant benefits of opting for a basic health check-up package is the early detection of potential health problems. In Bhubaneswar, where urbanization and modern lifestyles have led to increased cases of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders, a timely health check-up can make all the difference. For instance, getting a thyroid test package in Odisha can help you detect thyroid imbalances before they start affecting your daily life.

2. Preventive Healthcare for a Healthier Future

Preventive healthcare is all about identifying risk factors before they become serious. In Bhubaneswar, the adoption of preventive health practices is growing, with many people recognizing the value of regular check-ups. Health packages are designed not just to diagnose conditions but also to assess your current health status, so you can make lifestyle adjustments as needed. Opting for a health test package at home in Odisha allows you to receive professional health insights without visiting a clinic, which adds convenience and reduces stress.

3. Cost-Effective Solutions

Medical expenses can add up quickly, especially if conditions are detected too late. Investing in a basic health check-up package in Bhubaneswar offers a cost-effective solution, as these packages bundle essential tests into a single package at a discounted rate. By addressing potential health issues early, you can avoid costly treatments and hospital visits in the future. Furthermore, diagnostic centers in Bhubaneswar offer various health check-up packages tailored to different age groups and health needs, making it easier to find an affordable option.

4. Customized to Local Health Needs

Health concerns can vary depending on geographic location, climate, and lifestyle. In Bhubaneswar and other parts of Odisha, health check-up packages are designed keeping local health challenges in mind. For example, many people in Odisha are prone to thyroid issues due to iodine deficiency, making a thyroid test package in Odisha particularly valuable. Local diagnostic centers understand the region's common health issues and provide health packages that are specifically designed to address these concerns.

Popular Health Check-Up Tests in Bhubaneswar

If you're considering a health check-up, it helps to know what tests are commonly included in health check-up test packages in Bhubaneswar. Here's a list of typical tests you may encounter:

1. Blood Sugar Test

A blood sugar test is essential for detecting diabetes, a condition that is increasingly prevalent in urban areas like Bhubaneswar. Regular monitoring can help you manage blood sugar levels and prevent complications.

2. Lipid Profile

This test measures your cholesterol levels, both the "good" (HDL) and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. High cholesterol can lead to cardiovascular diseases, and early detection allows you to take preventive steps.

3. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A CBC test evaluates the levels of different blood cells in your body. It helps in diagnosing conditions like anemia, infections, and even blood cancers.

4. Thyroid Function Test

As mentioned earlier, a thyroid test package in Odisha is crucial for detecting imbalances in thyroid hormone levels, which can affect metabolism, energy levels, and mood. Given the prevalence of thyroid issues in Odisha, this test is a must-have in any health check-up package.

5. Liver Function Test

Your liver plays a critical role in detoxifying your body. A liver function test checks for enzymes and proteins that indicate how well your liver is working. Early detection of liver problems can prevent more severe issues later on.

6. Kidney Function Test

Kidney function tests assess how well your kidneys are filtering waste and fluids. This is especially important for those with a history of diabetes or hypertension.

7. ECG (Electrocardiogram)

For those with heart concerns or a family history of cardiovascular disease, an ECG can help detect heart abnormalities early on.

Convenience of Health Check-Ups at Home in Bhubaneswar

Another advantage of choosing health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar is the option to get your tests done from the comfort of your home. Many diagnostic centers offer health test package at home in Odisha, making it incredibly convenient for those with busy schedules or mobility issues.

Opting for at-home health tests means you don't have to spend time in waiting rooms or travel to a clinic. Instead, trained healthcare professionals visit your home, collect samples, and send you the results digitally. This service has become even more relevant in recent times, especially for individuals looking to avoid crowded spaces for health and safety reasons.

Choosing the Right Health Check-Up Package

With various options available, how do you choose the right basic health check-up package in Bhubaneswar? Here are a few tips to help you decide:

1. Understand Your Health Needs

Are you prone to certain conditions? Do you have a family history of specific illnesses? Understanding your personal health risks can help you choose a package that covers the tests most relevant to you. For instance, if thyroid issues run in your family, ensure that the package includes a thyroid test package in Odisha.

2. Compare Packages

Different diagnostic centers offer different packages, so it’s a good idea to compare what’s included in each. Make sure the package you choose covers the essential tests for your age and health status.

3. Check for At-Home Services

If convenience is a priority, look for diagnostic centers that offer health test packages at home in Odisha. This can save you time and effort while ensuring you still get the health insights you need.

4. Consider the Frequency of Check-Ups

How often should you get a health check-up? This depends on your age and health condition. For young, healthy individuals, an annual check-up is often sufficient. However, if you have existing health concerns or are over 40, more frequent check-ups may be advisable.

Conclusion

Health is wealth, and taking proactive steps to maintain it can significantly improve your quality of life. Opting for basic health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar allows you to stay ahead of potential health issues, ensuring you live a healthier, more fulfilling life. With early detection, cost-effective solutions, and the convenience of at-home services, there’s no reason to delay booking your health check-up today.

In this blog, we will explore why opting for a senior citizen health checkup package in Bhubaneswar is vital and how you can prioritize your health without breaking the bank.

The Importance of Health Checkups for Senior Citizens

Aging brings about natural changes in the body, and with these changes come increased risks for a variety of health issues.

What Should a Senior Citizen Health Checkup Include?

Before diving into the benefits of opting for a senior citizen health checkup package in Bhubaneswar, it’s essential to understand what these checkups typically cover. While the exact tests may vary depending on the package or the facility, most comprehensive packages include the following:

Complete Blood Count (CBC) – This test measures various components of your blood, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It helps detect conditions like anemia, infections, and blood disorders.

Blood Sugar Test – A fasting blood sugar test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, a common concern for older adults.

Lipid Profile – This test checks for cholesterol and triglyceride levels, helping to assess your risk for heart diseases.

Kidney Function Test – This includes serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests to monitor kidney health.

Liver Function Test – This assesses the functioning of your liver, screening for any potential liver diseases.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) – This simple test helps evaluate heart health by measuring the electrical activity of the heart.

Why Bhubaneswar?

Bhubaneswar has become a healthcare hub, offering state-of-the-art medical facilities and a range of healthcare services.

However, diagnostic centers in Bhubaneswar offer packages that are both affordable and comprehensive, allowing you to get the care you need without overspending.

Moreover, many diagnostic centers also offer home sample collection services, which can be a boon for senior citizens who may have mobility issues. This ensures that elderly individuals can get their tests done from the comfort of their home, adding another layer of convenience.

How to Choose the Right Health Checkup Package

With so many options available, how do you choose the right senior citizen health checkup package in Bhubaneswar? Here are a few tips to help you decide:

Check the Reputation of the Diagnostic Center – Not all diagnostic centers are the same. Look for well-established centers like Diagnostic Point that have a good reputation for accuracy and professionalism.

Compare Package Contents – Some packages may include additional tests that are not necessary for your health condition, while others might miss out on important ones. Make sure the package you choose covers all essential tests.

Consider Convenience – If you're not able to visit the diagnostic center in person, choose a package that offers home sample collection services.

Look for Discounts – Many diagnostic centers offer discounts on health checkup packages for senior citizens. Keep an eye out for such offers to make the package even more affordable.

Review Customer Feedback – Before making your decision, take a look at customer reviews and feedback to get an idea of the quality of service offered by the diagnostic center.

How Often Should Senior Citizens Get Health Checkups?

Regular health checkups are crucial for senior citizens, but how often should they be done? The answer depends on your overall health and medical history. For most elderly individuals, an annual health checkup is sufficient. However, if you have a pre-existing condition like diabetes or heart disease, more frequent checkups may be recommended by your doctor.

It’s essential to consult your healthcare provider to determine how often you should undergo a senior citizen health checkup package in Bhubaneswar. They can provide guidance based on your medical history, age, and risk factors.

The Role of Preventive Healthcare in Senior Years

Preventive healthcare plays a critical role in ensuring that senior citizens lead healthy, active lives. Regular checkups help catch potential health issues early, allowing for prompt treatment and management. This not only improves the quality of life but can also extend life expectancy by keeping chronic conditions under control.

Moreover, preventive healthcare empowers senior citizens to take control of their health. It helps in building awareness about potential risks and encourages a proactive approach to maintaining well-being.

Essential Basic Health Check-Up Tests in Bhubaneswar for Early Detection and Prevention

Taking care of our health is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. With the hustle and bustle of modern life, people often neglect their health until a serious issue arises. This is where the concept of a basic health check-up becomes crucial. Early detection and prevention are the keys to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and in Bhubaneswar, several health check-up packages are available to help you stay ahead of potential health risks. These tests are simple, non-invasive, and designed to give you an accurate picture of your overall health.

If you're looking for basic health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar, this blog will guide you through the essential tests you should consider for early detection and prevention. We will also cover convenient options for those in Odisha who prefer health check-ups at home.

Why Basic Health Check-Ups Are Essential

Many serious health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. By the time you feel unwell, the condition may have already progressed. Regular health check-ups can catch these issues before they become severe, giving you time to take action and improve your health. Prevention is better than cure, and a basic health check-up test in Bhubaneswar can help you identify any early warning signs of illness.

Essential Basic Health Check-Up Tests

Here are some essential tests included in a basic health check-up package that focus on early detection and prevention:

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A CBC is one of the most common tests included in any basic health check-up test in Bhubaneswar. It gives a detailed overview of the different types of cells in your blood—red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Abnormal levels can indicate infections, anemia, immune system disorders, and other health conditions.

2. Blood Sugar Test

Monitoring your blood sugar levels is crucial, especially for detecting diabetes early. A fasting blood sugar test checks your glucose levels after not eating for several hours. This test can help detect prediabetes and diabetes, enabling early intervention to manage the condition effectively.

3. Lipid Profile

A lipid profile measures your cholesterol levels, including LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. High cholesterol is a significant risk factor for heart disease, which is why this test is essential for anyone interested in preventing cardiovascular issues.

4. Thyroid Function Test

Thyroid health is often overlooked but plays a critical role in regulating metabolism, energy, and mood. Many health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar include a thyroid test package in Odisha, which assesses your T3, T4, and TSH hormone levels. This test can detect conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), both of which require medical intervention.

5. Liver Function Test (LFT)

Liver health is crucial for detoxifying your body and metabolizing nutrients. An LFT checks for enzymes and proteins in your blood that indicate how well your liver is functioning. Elevated levels can point to liver disease, fatty liver, or the effects of medications.

6. Kidney Function Test

Your kidneys filter waste from your blood and regulate various essential functions, including electrolyte balance and blood pressure. A kidney function test measures the levels of urea, creatinine, and other waste products in your blood to assess kidney health.

7. Electrocardiogram (ECG)

For those at risk of heart disease or with a family history of heart problems, an ECG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. It can detect abnormalities in heart rhythm, which could be a sign of heart conditions.

8. Urine Routine Test

A simple urine test can provide valuable insights into your body's metabolic and kidney functions. It can detect infections, diabetes, dehydration, and other metabolic disorders.

9. Vitamin Deficiency Tests

Many people suffer from undiagnosed vitamin deficiencies, especially in essential nutrients like Vitamin D and B12. These deficiencies can lead to fatigue, mood disorders, and other health issues. Checking for vitamin deficiencies as part of your health check-up test packages in Odisha ensures that you are not missing out on any essential nutrients.

Choosing the Right Health Check-Up Package

With so many basic health check-up packages in Bhubaneswar, how do you choose the one that’s right for you? Here are some factors to consider:

1. Your Age and Risk Factors

If you're young and healthy, a basic package that covers the CBC, lipid profile, and blood sugar might suffice. However, if you're older or have a family history of certain conditions, you might want to opt for a more comprehensive package that includes tests for heart health, liver function, and thyroid health.

2. Customizable Packages

Some healthcare providers offer customizable health check-up packages. This means you can choose tests based on your personal health needs. For example, if you're particularly concerned about thyroid issues, you could add a thyroid test package in Odisha to your check-up plan.

3. Convenience

In today's world, convenience is key. Many healthcare centers offer health test packages at home in Odisha. This means that you can get all the essential tests done without leaving the comfort of your home. This is especially beneficial for individuals who have busy schedules or find it difficult to visit a healthcare facility.

4. Price and Value

While it might be tempting to opt for the most affordable package, it's essential to consider the value you're getting. A slightly more expensive package that includes critical tests like the thyroid test package in Odisha might be more beneficial in the long run.

Benefits of Health Check-Ups at Home

One of the most convenient options now available in Odisha is health test packages at home. This service allows healthcare professionals to visit your home, collect samples, and provide you with results without the hassle of visiting a clinic or hospital. Here are the main benefits:

Convenience: No need to travel or wait in lines at a diagnostic center. You can book a time that suits you.

Comfort: For elderly patients or those with mobility issues, getting tested at home is much more comfortable and stress-free.

Accuracy: Even at home, trained professionals collect samples with the same precision and hygiene standards as they would in a clinic.

Comprehensive Packages: Many service providers offer a wide range of tests, from basic CBCs to more specialized tests like thyroid or kidney function assessments.

At Diagnostic Point, for example, they offer health check-up test packages in Odisha that can be customized to include essential screenings, all performed at home by a team of experts.

When Should You Get a Basic Health Check-Up?

If you haven't had a check-up in the past year, now is the time to consider one. The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, lifestyle, and medical history. Here are some general guidelines:

For young adults (18-39 years): A basic health check-up every 1-2 years is advisable. If you have risk factors such as smoking, obesity, or a family history of diabetes, you may want to consider more frequent check-ups.

For middle-aged adults (40-60 years): You should have a health check-up every year, especially to monitor cholesterol, blood sugar, and heart health.

For older adults (60+ years): An annual health check-up becomes even more important as the risk for chronic conditions increases with age.

Conclusion

Early detection and prevention are key components of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By opting for a basic health check-up package in Bhubaneswar, you're taking a proactive step toward managing your health and preventing serious conditions from developing. Whether you visit a clinic or prefer the convenience of health test packages at home in Odisha, regular check-ups can make a significant difference in your long-term well-being.
