  1. changing dietary patterns, lower physical activity and psychological factors such as depression leads to various chronic ailments both in urban & rural areas
  2. DALYs- The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health,
  3. … Most worrying is the growing prevalence of the disease in the rural areas
  4. Over the next 10 years, the combined number of deaths in India from infectious diseases, nutritional disorders and maternal conditions will decline by 15%.
  5. Boils need to be lanced, we need insulin when the pancreas can no longer produce it, and if our airways are squeezed so tight that we are turning blue, pharmaceuticals and artificial respiration can be life-saving.Allopathic medicine is very good when the body is acutely injured, or when it is in crisis. If I have a broken arm, a cast is appropriate. If I have an acute inflammation of my appendix, it would be a good idea to remove the offending organ surgically before it ruptures. If I am dying of bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics may save my life.
