Hyderabad: STAR Hospitals, Nanakramguda, hosted a public-interest interaction titled “The 2025 Reality Check” to examine whether New Year health resolutions translated into real outcomes. The event was held at Pramana Hall, STAR Hospitals, in the presence of media representatives and local residents.

Dr. Gopichand Mannam, Managing Director, STAR Hospitals, outlined the hospital’s preventive healthcare vision, stressing, “Healthcare today cannot be limited to hospital walls. Prevention and early detection must become part of everyday life, not just a response to illness.”

The session highlighted the growing gap between health awareness and health action. Hospital leadership noted, “We treat illness every day, but our real responsibility is to stop preventable conditions from reaching the hospital.”

The core of the event was a panel discussion moderated by Dr. Sainath Bhethanabhotla, Senior Consultant & Head – Medical Oncology. He observed, “Every January we hear health resolutions, but our OPDs tell a different story. Many patients arrived with conditions that could have been prevented or detected earlier.”
