3. Golden Hour Heart Care: UP Launches STEMI Initiative to Save Lives in Rural India

The Uttar Pradesh government has launched the UP STEMI Care Program at SGPGIMS, Lucknow, to reduce deaths from ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), a severe type of heart attack. Using a spoke-and-hub model, district hospitals start treatment within the golden hour and refer patients to advanced centers like SGPGIMS for further care. The program also uses tele-ECG technology to enable real-time diagnosis and plans to integrate AI-based ECG tools for faster analysis. With heart disease being India’s leading cause of death, this initiative aims to improve emergency heart care in rural and semi-urban areas.

4. Apollo to List Digital Health & Pharmacy Arm as Standalone Entity: A New Chapter in India’s Healthcare Revolution

Apollo Hospitals has announced a major reorganisation to spin off and list its digital health and pharmacy business as a separate standalone entity. This new company will combine Apollo 24/7, Apollo Pharmacy, Keimed (pharma distribution), and telehealth services, creating India’s largest integrated omnichannel healthcare ecosystem. AHEL shareholders will receive shares in the new entity, which is expected to be listed within 18–21 months. With a projected revenue of ₹16,300 Cr in FY25 and ₹25,000 Cr by FY27, this move signals a bold step in expanding digital healthcare.

.5. Maternity Leave to Be Counted as Bond Service: Madras HC Delivers Relief to MS Surgery Doctor

The Madras High Court has ruled that maternity leave must be counted as part of the government bond service period for doctors. The judgment came after a female MS Surgery doctor was denied her original certificates for not completing the full two-year bond, despite being on maternity leave for 12 months. The court held that maternity leave is a fundamental right under Article 21, and bond terms cannot override protections granted by the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961. This decision sets a strong precedent for women doctors across India, reinforcing that maternity is not a break from service but a protected right.

6,CarePay Launches AI-Powered Healthcare EMI Platform for Instant and Easy Medical Financing

The platform uses a virtual assistant, Careena, to assess eligibility and process applications within minutes. With interest costs covered by partner hospitals, patients only pay the principal amount. This mobile-friendly, secure solution aims to ease out-of-pocket medical expenses and improve access to quality healthcare, especially for those without insurance.
