Amritsar, April 15, 2025
Diabetes has emerged as one of the most common yet serious health challenges of our time. If not managed properly, it can lead to complications involving the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and heart. In response to this growing concern, EMC Hospital, Amritsar, has launched an awareness campaign aimed at educating the public about diabetes symptoms, causes, and effective management strategies.
Senior physician Dr. Amarnath led the session, explaining, “Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. This results in elevated blood glucose levels, which, if not controlled in time, can harm multiple organs.”
He further pointed out that modern lifestyle factors—such as irregular routines, excessive consumption of junk food, stress, and lack of physical activity—are major contributors to the rise of this disease.
Tips for Managing Diabetes
Dr. Amarnath advised diabetic patients to:
✅ Monitor their blood sugar regularly
✅ Follow a balanced diet
✅ Exercise consistently
✅ Avoid stress
✅ Take medications on time
He emphasized that diabetes is not an incurable disease. With the right information, awareness, and lifestyle modifications, it can be effectively controlled.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Rishabh Arora, Advertising and Managing Director of EMC Hospital, stated, “Our mission is not just to treat illnesses but to raise public health awareness. EMC Hospital has established a dedicated Diabetes Care Department staffed with experienced doctors, trained dietitians, and advanced diagnostic tools to provide holistic care.”

Introducing the Diabetes Wellness Program
Dr. Arora also introduced EMC’s special “Diabetes Wellness Program,” which offers not only medical treatment but also psychological and social support to patients. This program is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with long-term diabetes and associated lifestyle challenges.
He concluded by saying, “EMC Hospital has become a center where patients receive not only medical care but also compassion, understanding, and respect. We are committed to providing comprehensive and safe healthcare to every individual.”
