Our team had the privilege of engaging with Dr. Nabhit, gaining insights into his professional journey and the impactful work Peacful Mind is undertaking globally. Let us explore the journey of a leader dedicated to transforming mental health perceptions and making waves in the field across the globe. Dr. Nabhit Kapur Chairman Peacful Mind Founda?on Journey in Mental Health Advocacy to ensure that mental health becomes a freely discussed topic across all corners of society, breaking down hesitations and barriers. Dr. Nabhit set out on a mission to craft a global niche in the field of mental health, a subject often masked in silence. Acknowledging the progress made over time, he recognized the persistent need for comprehensive efforts in mental well-being. Driven by this vision, he founded the Peacful Mind Foundation to impart training and implement innovative ideas in mental health. At the grassroots level, Peacful Mind actively collaborates with various entities, such as a government school in Delhi, engaging in diverse activities and training students. This approach extends globally, with international collaborations involving the sharing of resources and training with organizations worldwide. The foundation's model revolves around training, execution, and top-to-bottom awareness creation.

The foundation encompasses diverse domains, including the Global Youth Mental Health Forum, World Leaders for Mental Health, and Mental Health Karaoke. Over time, the foundation has undertaken various initiatives, offering certificate courses, workshops, and training programs open to individuals from all walks of life.

observes Dr. Nabhit. He acknowledges the difficulty in breaking away from established practices but notes the positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in prompting increased openness to mental health discussions. "Thanks to COVID, people have actually now started opening up, but a lot needs to be done," he asserts. The foundation stands as a proactive force, pushing for a shift in mindset and advocating for mental health to be conferred the priority it deserves in both healthcare and societal considerations. Well-being Diplomacy In contemplating the vast concept of global peace amidst the challenges faced by individuals worldwide, Dr. Nabhit recognizes the profound psychological impact on people. He notes the prevalence of mental health issues such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression, emphasizing their hindrance to achieving true peace. H.E Dr Rosalia Arteaga (Former President of Ecuador), Patron- Peacfulmind Mentors Dr. Nabhit introduces the concept of "well-being diplomacy," asserting that discussions between leaders and nations should extend beyond economic and cultural aspects. He emphasizes the crucial role of mental health in promoting true peace, highlighting the reciprocal nature of growth and support among global citizens. Overcoming Mental Health Challenges "When we talk about negotiations between leaders and countries, it is also on the well-being of each other. You help me grow, I help you grow. We nurture each other because we are one global citizen, part of this world and planet," explains Dr. Nabhit. He calls for a shift in diplomatic conversations, urging leaders to prioritize understanding each other's needs in the present and the future, setting aside historical differences. Addressing the challenges in mental health, Dr. Nabhit emphasizes, "The primary challenge is that mental health is not considered as primary healthcare. That is the biggest challenge." He points out that mental health is often lowered to secondary status or excluded entirely from healthcare priorities, being classified under social affairs. Furthermore, Dr. Nabhit highlights the crucial distinction between psychiatry and psychology, underscoring that while similar, these fields are not identical. The persistence of outdated practices, deeply ingrained in traditional approaches, poses a significant challenge. Driven by a desire to disrupt established norms, he founded the foundation to challenge the status quo and introduce innovative methods. The primary challenge is that mental health is not considered as a primary healthcare. That is the biggest challenge. H.E. Dr Louis George Tin ( Prime Minister- State of African Diaspora), Patron- Peacfulmind Well-being Diplomacy Circle "People tend to still not understand the concept behind it. I mean, they just go by what they have been taught in colleges and universities, just like road learning,"

charities. We just wanted to contribute to society, and as much as we can do, I'm very happy with it," he candidly states. The focus remains on making a meaningful impact and promoting positive change rather than conforming to traditional fundraising models. "At Peacful Mind, our focus extends beyond training; we collaborate with political leaders to shape mental health policies for the greater good of society," notes Dr. Nabhit. The foundation's multifaceted efforts contribute to the ongoing global conversation surrounding mental health and its integration into policymaking for a healthier and more resilient society. Perseverance in Pursuit of Vision In his lectures and interactions, Dr. Nabhit imparts a timeless piece of advice: "Do not give up. Even if you do not have resources, just do not give up on your vision." Emphasizing the importance of taking a step forward, he encourages individuals not to succumb to challenges but to persevere with solid determination. Introducing Fellowships and Expanding Global Reach In a strategic move for the year, Peacful Mind is set to launch the Peacful Mind Fellowships. These fellowships aim to provide a platform for individuals dedicated to societal well-being and mental health, empowering them to expand their impact. Dr. Nabhit envisions this initiative as a key strategic step to adopt collaboration and drive further positive change. Drawing from personal experience rather than bookish knowledge, Dr. Nabhit acknowledges the inherent stress, frustration, and tension that come with pursuing a vision. However, he passionately advocates for maintaining hope and continuous movement, assuring that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Hon Modou Lamin Bah (Member of Parliament, Gambia), President- Global Youth Mental Health Forum Reflecting on the growth of the NGO, Dr. Nabhit notes the absence of a rigid plan, expressing contentment with the organic development of Peacful Mind. The foundation is open to establishing its presence in new parts of the world, reaching areas where its influence has not yet been felt. Dr Prabhjeet Singh, President Peacfulmind Founda?on monumental goal," states Dr. Nabhit. The foundation envisions a future where the mere mention of mental health prompts the association with Peacful Mind, aligning with its name to bring a sense of peace to all those in need. "It's my own experience from which I'm saying. I have practiced this throughout the years. Yes, it is stressful. Yes, it is frustrating. Yes, it is a tense situation. But seriously, just don't lose hope and keep on moving. Things will fall in place automatically," advises Dr. Nabhit. Despite the absence of a specific plan for fundraising, Dr. Nabhit emphasizes the foundation's commitment to societal contribution over financial goals. "To be very honest, this NGO was not started for the aim of getting donations and "Until the concept of well-being diplomacy is understood and accepted by all leaders running this planet, true peace cannot be achieved. We have to sit on a table to talk, understand each other's needs, and move beyond past differences," insists Dr. Nabhit. The call for a unified understanding and acceptance of well-being diplomacy stands as a crucial step towards encouraging a peaceful and interconnected global community. Dr. Nabhit, with a global perspective, aims to expand the impact of Peacful Mind, not limiting its influence to India alone. He takes pride in the international recognition and appreciation received for the foundation's work. With a hopeful view towards gaining international recognition for his contributions, he wishes, "When somebody talks about mental health, my name is counted there." Fellowships and Futures Peacful Mind, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Nabhit, is ambitiously moving towards establishing itself as one of the world's leading mental health institutions. Expressing the desire to collaborate with the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Nabhit acknowledges the need for substantial resources and supportive hands on this journey. Global Impact With an optimistic outlook, Dr. Nabhit expresses his aspirations for a significant and recognized contribution on a global scale. The foundation's journey is marked by a commitment to encouraging mental well-being and leaving a lasting mark in the worldwide discourse on mental health.

"While we don't rely on donations or charities, we are in search of strong collaborators to aid us in achieving this The foundation's unique approach extends beyond training initiatives. It actively engages with political leaders to influence policies related to mental health, recognizing the profound impact such policies can have on society at large.

The focus is on developing robust primary health centers, training healthcare workers, and implementing preventive care programs. This approach aims to address health issues at their roots, preventing the escalation of diseases and reducing the burden on tertiary care facilities. Conclusion The evolution of healthcare in India is a journey marked by resilience, innovation, and a commitment to providing quality care to all citizens. The strides made in telemedicine, artificial intelligence, affordable healthcare, primary healthcare strengthening, EHR adoption, mental health awareness, medical tourism, and pharmaceutical research are propelling India toward a future where healthcare is not just a service but a comprehensive approach to well-being. E-Health Records for Seamless Healthcare The adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) is streamlining healthcare processes in India. EHRs ensure the seamless sharing of patient information across healthcare providers, reducing redundancies and improving coordination of care. Patients can now have their medical history accessible at any healthcare facility, promoting more informed decision-making and personalized treatment plans. As India continues to forge ahead, it is crucial to sustain this momentum, address existing challenges, and ensure that the benefits of advancements reach every corner of the country. The future-forward trajectory of healthcare in India holds the promise of a healthier, more equitable society where individuals receive timely, affordable, and personalized care, ushering in a new era of well-being for the nation.

India's Transforma?onal Leaders Shaping the Future of Healthcare Anjali Physio Care I t's been a while since you're suffering from physical pain in your body and none of the medication is quite helping you. Getting to the root of the pain is challenging, thus, Anjali Physio Care, an advanced physiotherapy center walks you through the unexplored medical science of physiotherapy. From consultation, physical assessment and diagnosis, to psychological counseling, you seek a customized treatment plan for your recovery. and anatomical knowledge. And physiotherapy stream was an unexplored line of medical science as compared to any other field. Please tell us about yourself and your role at the clinic. I am the Director of the clinic. After completing my graduation in 2009 from Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Indore, M. P., I started my journey from Bangalore where I worked in different hospitals and clinics In an interview with Insights Care, Dr. Anjali Telang, the Director of Anjali Physio Care and Senior Consultant, talks about the clinic's mission and operations to support patients in keeping their bones and muscles healthy. Our mission is to add quality life for every individual and encourage them to do exercises every day. At present, most people have a sedentary lifestyle due to si?ng jobs. Keeping bones and muscles healthy is the key to quality life. Following are the excerpts from the interview. Brief us about the clinic. What led to its inception? Anjali Physio Care is an advanced Physiotherapy center that runs on the principles of prevention and treating the root cause of the problem. We have a dedicated team of physiotherapists committed to the well-being of our patients. I always wanted to help people having challenges with physical health and I possess strong problem-solving skills Dr. Anjali Telang Director of Anjali Physio Care and Senior Consultant Anjali Physio Care 27 26 February 2024 www.insightscare.in February 2024 www.insightscare.in

for more than a year. Then I worked as a freelancer in London, followed by Singapore for two years. In 2013, I moved to Pune and started my own clinic Anjali Physio Care—an advanced Physiotherapy center. Thus, awareness and the importance of Physiotherapy are required in society. Anjali Physio Care runs various online/offline sessions, home programs, webinars, and workshops so that the mass community can get the benefit of physiotherapy. What are the mission and vision of the clinic? What technological support does the clinic uses to conduct its operations? Our mission is to add quality to the life of every individual and encourage them to do exercises every day. At present, most people have a sedentary lifestyle due to sitting jobs. Keeping bones and muscles healthy is the key to a quality life. Anjali Physio Care operates on electrotherapy machines which include IFT, US ThERAPY, TENS, EMS, and various exercise equipment which help in reducing patients' pain and other issues related to muscles and ligaments. It provides stability to joints and ligaments. By the end of this year, we plan to add advanced therapy machines such as matrix rhythm therapy, Laser, etc, to the current set of therapy equipment. Tell us about the services offered by Anjali Physio Care. We have provided our services to 15k plus patients and helped more than 500 patients to avoid their surgeries for slipped discs in the cervical and lumber spine. What challenges do you go through at the clinic and how do you turn them into opportunities for growth? Apart from that, we also provide post-operative care and home care for cases like fractures, sports injuries, accidents, burn and neurological conditions, and help them to live their life happily and independently. Physiotherapy requires patience and time commitment from patients who want to achieve results. It's not the case where you visit a doctor once and takes medicines for a prescribed period. Encouraging patients to visit the clinic for a prescribed duration of time, out of their busy schedules, is a challenge. What is the need for customized treatment for patients in healthcare? Customized treatment protocols for each patient according to their conditions help to deliver care and full recovery. Apart from electrotherapy and exercises, expertise in advanced treatments like dry needling therapy, cupping therapy, sports tapping, chiropractic treatment, and core strengthening are the key elements of our protocol. At Anjali Physio Care, we focus on patient health and satisfaction which provides us with opportunities to grow. To motivate patients for effective treatment, we share success stories with similar cases, provide home visits and develop a treatment plan for the patients who are not able to visit the clinic. We also conduct personal follow-ups to make sure they are following the treatment protocol. What do you think is required to improve the care measures in the healthcare sector? How do you plan to scale the clinic's operations in 2024? The healthcare system needs to focus on awareness of physiotherapy among the people so that they can educate them on the advantages of physiotherapy measures over medicine. As physiotherapy is still not considered a first line of treatment in the field of medical health and society. By the end of this year, we are planning to open multiple branches in other parts of the city. This will help us expand and provide care to the people. Our target is to focus on offering the best Physiotherapy services to society with maximum accessibility. Moreover, most insurance companies do not accept Physiotherapy claims without reference from orthopedic doctors. As a result, most of the patients seek physiotherapy treatment only after a reference from Orthopaedic doctors. 28 February 2024 www.insightscare.in
