India will have the largest number of diabetes, cardiac and stroke patients in the world

Economic Times - India Times


In another 22 years India will have the largest number of diabetes, cardiac and stroke patients in the world. It is estimated that India will have 57 million cases of diabetes, which is an increase of 148 per cent over the current figure of 23 million diabetics.

... If this is the case with India alone, it is not difficult to extrapolate the extent of the spectre on a global scale.

...In India, Reliance Life Sciences, a company promoted by the Ambani family, is doing path-breaking R&D work in this area. In 2001, the company, along with the Bangalore-based National Centre for Biological Sciences, was recognised by the US-based National Institute of Health as among the 10 global companies and research institutions working in the area of embryonic stem cells.
