Healthcare facilities in Bangalore

Bangalore is the fifth most crowded city of India and the population is estimated to be 11.5 million.

Bangalore has a mix of healthcare facilities provided by the public and the private healthcare providers.

The city is said to have the best healthcare infrastructure and facilities but yet stands after Chennai and Mumbai. It is also said to have the best medical practitioners, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and technologically advanced equipment.

Bangalore, just like any other metro, faces the same problem of shortage of doctors and facilities, and the problem of long waiting hours at the hospitals. The city has the acclaim of performing the highest number of cardiac surgeries among which 30% are pediatric cardiac surgeries. As medical tourism is gaining importance, the city has been attracting patients from all over the world. Government of Karnataka has been working towards providing healthcare to public of Bangalore at affordable costs and is trying to make sure every person is protected by the burden of diseases like Dengue, Chikungunya, Zika etc and Respiratory diseases like H1N1, Ebola, Tuberculosis, Cardiovascular diseases, Cancers, Diabetes, Chronic Respiratory diseases, Mental illness and Road Accidents.

To help the people of Bangalore meet their healthcare needs and to protect and preserve the health of the public through the Public Health system, Bruhath Bangalore Mahangara Palike (BBMP) has setup an exclusive Public Health Information and Epidemiological Cell (Phiec). This cell is helping in collecting data from private and public hospitals through online facilities which will in turn help the healthcare providers to Diagnose and Investigate health problems and health hazards easily, mobilize Public and Private sector and find solutions to health problems prevailing in the city.

Regular Health Check-ups in Bangalore, why is it Important?

As you read above, Bangalore is no different from rest of India when it comes to disease prevalence and management.

There are many things like Policies and Plans that support individual and Community Health efforts, laws and regulation that protect health and ensure safety, Information, education and empowerment of people towards health issues and provision of effective, accessible and quality of population based health services to the people. Yet people fail to follow all this and still stick to their busy lifestyle avoiding getting a complete and regular health check-up done. It is people’s mere ignorance of health over work-life balance that has created so many health problems that have led to fatal chronic illnesses. People do not realize until it is too late that they need to see a doctor. Some diseases do not show symptoms until they have reached a stage where you need to spend millions to get it cured.

Why wait until you get stressed paying the hospital bills. Instead, you can visit your doctors frequently to get a regular whole body check-up done.

Many of them still question “why would I need a whole body check-up?”

The answer is “you need regular whole body check-ups to stay fit and healthy”.

The immediate question that follows is “what does a whole body check-up include?”

Let us answer that as well. A regular whole body check-up includes a thorough check of all the organs of the body to make sure you are leading a healthy life. The check-up includes a set of tests like Blood, urine and imaging that help the doctors diagnose health ailments at early stages or the possible diseases that you may face in near future. The set of tests include a general physical examination that assesses your weight, height, blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature, a complete blood count (CBC) that help in assessing infections, anemia or indications of other diseases. Lipid profile, Liver Function tests and Kidney functioning tests that helps in assessing a complete cholesterol troll over your body and helps in assessing cardiovascular risk, diagnosing the functioning of the liver and helps to diagnose liver diseases if any and that evaluate the proper functioning of the kidneys. A complete blood sugar profile that helps in diagnosing diabetes and how can it be treated. Blood sugar test also helps in diagnosing if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic.

Imaging test like a chest X-ray studies the chest and the other organs located in that area and an ECG, a very important test helps in determining the heart rate and uniformity of the heartbeat. An Ultrasonography studies the different organs and helps in diagnosing problems in the abdomen such as spleen, gall bladder, liver, pancreas and kidneys. A Urine examination helps in the general assessment of health in terms of systemic or metabolic diseases. The check-up also includes other cancer specific tests for men and women separately. Other age specific tests include Osteoporosis, Bowel cancer screening, Visual acuity and Hearing impairment tests.

Who needs a regular whole body check-up?

Every individual needs a regular whole body check-up after the age of 25. India has seen a shift in the burden of diseases from the last two decades and heart, lung, bowel, thyroid, liver and kidney diseases these days are the most common causes of long-term illness. Early detection of these diseases is very important for prevention and early treatment. This can also save millions on the treatment costs that you may incur. With the changing lifestyle and busy schedule, if you aged between 25 to 35,your doctor may advice you some tests that help in detecting common non-communicable diseases along with some self-check tests for men and women separately. People above 40 years of age may be advised tests to check on blood pressure levels, blood sugar levels and other specific tests that help in early detection of cardiovascular diseases and any cancers. People above 50 are usually advised all the above tests along with tests that help diagnose your bone health, dental and ophthalmological health.

Pediatric Health Check-up is also gaining importance these days and it is very important to keep a track of the health of children aged between, 5 to 16. More than 39% of India’s population is Children. There are many diseases and infections that can be prevented and treated in early childhood. Child health is one of the biggest public health care challenges in our country. There are many diseases we have overcome but reasons like lack of safe drinking water, adulteration, lack of sanitation, lack of infrastructure, incorrect breast feeding practices, lack of immunization, unsafe delivery, unhygienic conditions and overcrowded environment affect the health conditions of the children. Conditions like UTI (Urinary Track Infections), functioning of kidneys and their problems, Infections, other diseases associated with respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, metabolic and other immune disorders can be detected and diagnosed early for better treatment. Unless a child develops any kind of symptoms of diseases, children generally do not need many laboratory screening tests. However, it is parent’s duty to develop healthy habits, like eating well and being active that can prevent serious and costly health problems in children as they grow older.
