The Balaji Medical and Educational Trust, having gone through an existence of
12 years, has realized that helping patients who are already been affected by
renal diseases covers only a small segment of the problem. The major issue
which need to be focused is how to prevent the onset of renal problems. The
only answer is to provide mass education and awareness across the length and
breath of the country by educating people as to what is the root cause of renal
problems. The answer to this is simple i.e uncontrolled / unmanaged Diabetes
and Blood Pressure. As per WHO estimates, India is world capital for Diabetes
and this will continue to increase .Hypertension is also spread to a similar
extent. These two problems alone will create an enormous number of people
having renal problems. Therefore, the trust is going to concentrate on
preventive measures i.e Early Disease Programme. To this effect, the trust has
launched the Early Disease Programme (EDP) on 15th March 2009 on the
occasion of celebration of 12th anniversary of Balaji Medical and Educational
Trust. All available mass media would be made use to disseminate this message
for various diseases to cover widest population groups. The media includes
TV, Internet, Cinema , Radio , Banners , Pamphlet, Newspaper , print media
etc. Early disease programme includes detection, intervention and monitoring.
