Persistent dizziness may signal life‑threatening disease — and must not be ignored
“Vertigo is not a disease. It’s a symptom — much like pain or fever — that can stem from conditions affecting the brain, spine, heart, nerves, eyes, or ears,” explains Dr Anirban Biswas, who has devoted over four decades to the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo and balance disorders. He notes that dizziness is not confined to inner-ear problems; it may also arise from metabolic, hormonal, or psychological issues, or from migraines without headaches. Accurate diagnosis of the root cause is essential for effective treatment.
A truly encouraging moment at the 3rd CII Delhi Healthcare Summit.
Shri Madhukar Kumar Bhagat, Joint Secretary In-Charge of e-Health & Digital Health Governance, MoHFW, highlighted the importance of the micro hospital model for Delhi and India during his inaugural address. What stood out was his perspective that micro hospitals aren't scaled-down versions of large hospitals, they are community-focused healthcare centres capable of addressing nearly 70% of preventive, primary and secondary medical and surgical needs. By bringing quality healthcare closer to home, micro hospitals play a significant role in improving healthcare access, affordability and continuity of care.

The Missing Middle: Why India's Healthcare System Needs a Patient-First Reset
Every day, thousands of patients across Delhi NCR wake up unwell, step into a healthcare system that is technically vast and resource-rich, and yet return home more confused than when they left. They carry a prescription they don't fully understand, a referral they're not sure how to follow, and a lingering anxiety that sends them straight to Google. This is not a story of medical failure. It is a story of systemic neglect — of a patient care gap that no hospital bed or expensive diagnostic machine can fill.

Doctor shares 5 common lifestyle mistakes that may be triggering dizziness and vertigo symptoms
Most people think vertigo only happens to older adults. But today, doctors are increasingly seeing young professionals, students, and even people in their late 20s walking into clinics complaining of dizziness, head heaviness, imbalance, motion sensitivity, and a strange floating sensation — often without realising their erratic lifestyle may be the trigger. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Anirban Biswas, principal director, Institute of Neurotology, Pacific OneHealth, shared habits that might be triggering dizziness. Dr Anirban said, “The contemporary hustle and grind culture adopted by the Gen-X is subtly eroding the body’s balance system.” “Your balance system works 24/7, even when you are sitting still,” explains Dr Biswas.

Up to 25 cr Indians may be living with balance disorders — yet specialised clinics remain scarce
India is currently facing a silent epidemic of balance disorders, affecting 25-30 per cent of the population, including 250 million sufferers and 30.8 per cent of high-schoolers, yet only 70-80 specialised clinics exist. Vertigo impacts 40 per cent of adults and 54 per cent of dizziness cases, driving 5-10 per cent of primary visits and 30 per cent of neurology/ENT consultations. Prevalence scales with age: 30 per cent (over 60), 35 per cent (over 70), and 50 per cent (over 80). Despite a 22.9 per cent annual dizziness rate, the lack of specialised vestibular clinics forces irrelevant tests and symptom-suppressing drugs, leaving patients and doctors in mutual bewilderment.

Diabetes, obesity and malnutrition: NFHS 6 data flags India's growing health crisis
The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6) shows India faces a double burden as obesity, diabetes and hypertension surge, especially in cities, while undernutrition and malnutrition persist, notably in rural areas. India is facing a growing nutritional paradox. New data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-6, 2023-24) show that while obesity and diabetes are rising rapidly nationwide, undernutrition remains a serious concern, particularly in rural India. In certain states and union territories, the findings show a double burden as underweight and overweight populations coexist, often within the same communities.
Brain fog, vertigo, floating sensations: The dark side of scrolling in bed
Prolonged screen use, especially doomscrolling in bed, can lead to balance disorders triggering vertigo. These are sensations involving dizziness, imbalance, and "floating sensations." Ever wondered how you opened just one reel your friend shared, only to end up scrolling endlessly for two hours while lying in bed? From doomscrolling late into the night to staring at screens during long metro rides, excessive reel watching has quietly become part of daily life for many people.This constant screen exposure is silently affecting the body’s balance system. Doctors are now seeing a growing number of younger patients reporting symptoms such as dizziness, imbalance, “floating sensations”, visual disorientation and unexplained vertigo -- problems once mostly associated with ageing.

Why thyroid gland is causing big problems in young bodies: Can we blame lifestyle?
Thyroid disorders are increasingly affecting adults and teenagers. Doctors warn that stress, poor sleep, nutritional gaps and crash dieting can worsen metabolic imbalance. Thyroid problems are no longer seen only as conditions affecting adults or illnesses identified solely through symptoms. They are now recognised as metabolic and lifestyle-related disorders that increasingly affect both adults and teenagers. Thyroid disorders happen when the butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck is unable to produce the right amount of hormones for the body. As a result, thyroid hormone levels go haywire, either producing too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism).

Adani vs Pacific OneHealth: Competing Visions for India's Hospital Sector
Two healthcare infrastructure announcements made within days of each other perfectly illustrate the two competing visions for India's hospital sector future. On one side: Adani Group's plan for 30 large #hospitals under ₹60,000 crore — the mega-hospital, brand-driven model that has defined Indian private healthcare for three decades. On the other: Pacific OneHealth's commitment of ₹300 crore to build a network of micro hospitals across India — small, asset-light, neighbourhood-level facilities designed to deliver high-quality secondary care without the overhead, wait times, and inaccessibility of large hospital complexes. Pacific OneHealth represents a bet on a fundamentally different architecture for healthcare delivery — and the logic behind it deserves serious examination.
