Indus drives the cause of prevention and is creating a successful framework for the government to effectively tackle the burden of non-communicable diseases, and in turn help in reducing the future burden on India's already weak health infrastructure.
Beyond preventive health checkups we also keep in mind the fact that millions of people go below the poverty because of catastrophic out-of-pocket expenditures on healthcare. Indus provides "Health Friend" cards to take care of the medical and hospitalization expenses. A 2005 report of the National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health states that "Prevention of diseases, particularly non-communicable diseases (lifestyle diseases) that are expensive to treat, is the most cost-effective strategy for a country facing scarce resources."
