The 2nd International Conference on Wellness was organised to raise awareness about wellness in the communities. The first edition, Wellness Con-2019, was successfully held in November 2019.

At the 2nd International
Conference on Wellness, organised by PRAYATNA in association with the Hind
Institute of Medical Sciences, Dr Sanjay delivered a keynote speech titled “Health
Is Not Only an Asset, but a Resource Which Must Be Nurtured by All.” He
stressed that Health, Education, and Nutrition (HEN) form the foundation of a
nation’s progress and presented his practical wellness model, DEWS — Diet,
Exercise, Work, and Sleep — describing it as a “no-cost health booster.”
Emphasising the significance of preventive healthcare, he urged regular medical
check-ups and early diagnosis as key measures to lessen the country’s burden of
avoidable diseases. 

He emphasised that “any
deviation from normal values should serve as an early warning”, and reasserted
the importance of keeping basic health monitoring tools such as weighing scale,
measuring tape, a full-length mirror, thermometer, blood pressure monitor,
glucometer, and pulse oximeter in every household, reports Garhwal Post.

Dr Sanjay urged the
launch of a nationwide Health Screening Awareness Campaign, stating,
“Prevention is better than cure.” He ended by connecting wellness to
nation-building and encouraged citizens to support Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’, emphasizing that a healthy and educated
population is crucial for India’s progress.
