Principal secretary Parth Sarthi Sen Sharma has written to chief medical officers (CMOs) and chief medical superintendents (CMSs) to begin preparations and awareness campaigns without delay.
"Instructions have been given to ensure that Yoga Day is organised in all district hospitals, community health centres, primary health centres, and Ayushman Arogya Mandirs of the state. A roadmap for organising these events is being prepared in advance to ensure maximum participation," an official spokesperson said on Saturday.
Informing the district authorities that the Yoga Day theme for 2025 is "Yoga for One Earth, One Health," the official letter stated: "The aim is to raise awareness about the benefits of yoga for improving overall health and lifestyle. In Uttar Pradesh, regular yoga sessions are already being held at all Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to support people's physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. On June 21, special yoga events will be organised at all these locations as part of this ongoing effort.
"
Sharma further said to help more people take part in International Yoga Day, Ayushman Arogya Mandirs will provide general yoga protocol skills to interested participants at the local level.
The Ministry of AYUSH, along with the Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, will also offer online training for yoga instructors.
"Coordination should be established with the block/district administration while ensuring active participation of ASHA/ANM, voluntary organisations, and educational institutions at the community level. The message should be disseminated to the public through physical and digital means," he said.

How Clinics On Cloud Is Building World's Largest Digital Healthcare Infrastructure?
VMPL New Delhi [India], August 4: While governments focus on building physical clinics like Ayushman Arogya Mandirs and healthcare service programs led by foundations such as Adani's Healthcare Temples to deliver essential care in underserved regions. Entrepreneur Mr. Abhay Agarwal Founder & CEO of Clinics On Cloud is building something just as impactful but digitally. It's turning healthcare into something you can access like an ATM. Clinics on Cloud's Health ATMs are transforming how primary healthcare is delivered automating what used to take hours in a hospital into 5-minute walk-ins. You don't need a hospital, a nurse, or even a waiting room. Vitals screenings, printed reports, and a real-time doctor consult all in one ATM. Just Like ATMs Changed Banking, Health ATM Changes Healthcare ATMs revolutionized banking by handling routine tasks, freeing up branches for more complex services. While a bank's main branch may be located in select areas, its ATMs are everywhere--automating everyday services for the masses. Clinics on Cloud applies the same principle to healthcare. While hospitals remain in urban centers, Health ATMs can be installed in underserved and remote areas to deliver primary care services. This not only decentralizes healthcare but also creates a seamless digital bridge between rural patients and urban medical infrastructure. A single Health ATM offers instant screenings, printed reports, and real-time doctor consultations--efficient, accessible, and built for everyone Why Digital Healthcare Alone Isn't Enough Digital healthcare sounds ideal--log in, consult a doctor, and get instant advice. But in reality, it often fails where it matters most: trust. "Patients don't feel confident when a doctor can't examine them. And doctors? They're left diagnosing in the dark," says Abhay Agarwal. Without real-time vitals like BP, sugar, oxygen, and temperature, virtual consultations become guesswork--no matter how good the tech is. This disconnect has led many well-funded Health tech startups to fail. Clinics on Cloud solves this with a hybrid model: patients visit a Health ATM, get guided by a trained operator, and consult with a doctor who sees live, accurate vitals. It's tech with trust--digital, but dependable. The Growing Health ATM Network Connecting 7+ Nations Clinics on Cloud has built a vast digital health network silently, strategically, and sustainably. With Health ATMs installed across India and seven other countries, the company is creating a borderless healthcare network that brings preventive care directly to the people This growth has been achieved while remaining entirely bootstrapped. Clinics on Cloud has scaled through partnerships with governments to reach underserved districts, through CSR collaborations to strengthen community health access, and through private organizations seeking reliable, decentralized healthcare delivery. Every Health ATM added to the network becomes part of a growing, intelligent ecosystem--digitally connected, real-time enabled, and built to bridge most critical healthcare gaps.

Mohali Fortis told to pay ₹50 lakh for patient's death due to negligence
Finding Fortis hospital in Mohali guilty of gross medical negligence, the district consumer disputes redressal commission has directed it to pay ₹50 lakh compensation to the family of a patient who died at the hospital in 2021. The consumer commission held that the hospital is liable not only for medical negligence but also for deficiency in services and unfair trade practices. (Getty Images/iStockphoto) The deceased, Harit Sharma, was a practising advocate at the Punjab and Haryana high court. His dying declaration from the hospital bed, a note in which he had written that he overheard doctors discussing that his case was mishandled, served as a crucial piece of evidence. The consumer commission held that the hospital is liable not only for medical negligence but also for deficiency in services and unfair trade practices. 'The ends of justice would meet if a lump sum compensation of ₹50 lakh is awarded to the complainants in lieu of the medical negligence committed by the hospital,' said the commission. The complainants included the deceased's wife Priyanka Sharma and her two minor sons. They stated before the commission that Sharma had been admitted at the Fortis Hospital, Mohali, on the morning of July 28, 2021, as he suffered from acute gastric problem. He was treated by Mohnish Chabra and other attending doctors. Before admitting him, Fortis conducted a Covid test which was found negative. It is further pleaded that as the visiting hours were restricted, the victim's wife only went to meet him between 12.30pm to 1pm on July 29, 2021. She was told that her husband had recovered from the gastric problem and due to improvement, the patient desired to be shifted to a private ward from ICU. However, he was kept in ICU on the pretext that ascites – a medical condition characterised by the excessive accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity – was to be removed from his stomach. It was further stated that due to negligent tapping, his oxygen levels came down drastically and he had to be put on oxygen support. The victim's wife stated that Sharma was fully conscious despite being on oxygen support and he overheard the hospital director saying that the tapping was done wrongly and that it had to be re-done. The victim revealed this to the complainant through a written note – he was unable to speak due to the oxygen mask – when she went to meet him the next day. The note read: 'Subah director had come. Director said Chabra has done wrong tapping. It will be done again.' She attached the dying declaration as evidence in her case before the consumer forum. A spokesperson of the Fortis hospital said they are aware of a consumer case concerning their hospital. 'As we are yet to receive the official court order, we are unable to comment on the specifics at this stage. Once the order is in hand, we will conduct a thorough review and, guided by expert legal advice, take appropriate action as deemed necessary.'

Bengaluru startup offers single-window system for diabetic footcare
BENGALURU: To address the lack of coordinated diabetic foot care in the healthcare system, a Bengaluru-based platform, FootSecure, has developed an integrated model that brings diagnostics, treatment, and preventive services under one roof, to reduce the high number of diabetes-related amputations in the country, over 1.4 million annually, many of which are considered medically avoidable. Unlike most hospitals, where diabetic foot care is absent or spread across departments, requiring patients to visit different specialists for scans, consultations, dressings, and footwear, FootSecure offers a single-window system specifically for foot complications. The model combines digital assessment tools, wound care, minor surgical procedures, custom footwear production, and remote follow-up through a centralised platform. The platform was started in 2019 by Dr Sanjay Sharma, a Chief Foot Surgeon, who realised the overwhelming shortage of experts in the podiatric field and decided to bring everything related to diabetic foot, among other orthopaedic conditions, under a roof. 'At the clinic level, patients are first screened using AI-assisted foot scanners that detect high-risk pressure points, even before external wounds or ulcers are visible. These are followed by gait and weight distribution analyses, which help identify how a patient's posture and walking pattern may contribute to injury risk. Based on this, the centre either initiates preventive care or moves the patient into wound management,' Dr Sharma explained.
