Every resident of Delhi is developing some degree of lung damage, he told ET's Teena Thacker. Edited Excerpts: Going by the AQI right now, how many people would you think will have lung disease in years to come? At this level of pollution, every resident of Delhi is developing some degree of lung damage. Those with pre-existing disease or sensitivity are suffering more, but no one is immune. I do want to point out one thing we forget-for many people, especially women, without access to clean fuel, indoor air pollution has always been around and to an even higher degree.

mini moon" for the past two months. The harmless space rock will peel away on Monday, overcome by the stronger tug of the sun's gravity. But it will zip closer for a quick visit in January. NASA will use a radar antenna to observe the 33-foot (10-metre) asteroid then. That should deepen scientists' understanding of the object known as 2024 PT5, quite possibly a boulder that was blasted off the moon by an impacting, crater-forming asteroid. While not technically a moon — NASA stresses it was never captured by Earth's gravity and fully in orbit — it's «an interesting object» worthy of study.

non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's remain a growing challenge due to reliance on expensive, reactive care, healthcare experts suggest building a community healthcare system and ‘operating at scale’ in rural and urban areas to help India pave the way to Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Swami Subramaniam, Physician Scientist, and Aparajithan Srivathsan, hospital strategist, spoke to ET on the sidelines of a discussion of their new book in which the duo has proposed seven principles to make UHC a reality in the country. Underlining some of the challenges in the current system, the book highlighted that “Primary healthcare in its current form is in its death throes. For its revival, it should be transformed into a new version called Comprehensive Health Care.” To strengthen the community healthcare system, India needs to think beyond traditional methods and “apply industrial concepts,” Srivathsan said, while adding, “Currently, ASHA workers, though involved in project-based interventions, are not equipped for continuous monitoring, as non-communicable diseases require long-term, consistent care. Therefore, a dedicated cadre of trained health workers is essential, and NGOs are stepping in to fill this gap."
