										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">– Star Health Insurance expands to 100 locations pan-India</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">– Customers can receive high quality medical care at their doorstep within 3 hours</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">– Improves accessibility, availability and affordability of healthcare</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">– Highest service adoption rates seen in Mumbai, Delhi and Pune</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>India, 25 February 2025</strong>: Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Limited (Star Health Insurance), India&#8217;s largest retail health insurance company, becomes the country’s largest Home Health Care (HHC) provider by expanding its HHC initiative to 100 locations across India. The program, launched in July 2023, now serves over 85% of Star Health Insurance’s customer base, offering cashless doorstep medical care within 3 hours with no out-of-pocket expenses. Improves accessibility, availability and affordability of healthcare in Bharat.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Anand Roy, MD &amp; CEO, Star Health Insurance</strong>, said, “At Star Health, we believe that health insurance goes beyond providing financial coverage. It is a bridge to accessible and affordable healthcare for every individual. Our vision is to remove barriers such as high hospitalization costs, logistical challenges and the stress associated with seeking care. By bringing quality medical care closer to customers we aim to ensure their comfort and peace of mind. This initiative is tangible proof of our focus on transforming health insurance delivery by ensuring that it is accessible, affordable, and designed around the evolving needs of our customers.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The HHC program provides timely medical care to patients recovering from infectious diseases. Under the program, a partner doctor visits the patient&#8217;s home to assess their condition, conduct a diagnosis, and provide necessary treatment if hospitalization is deemed unnecessary for the symptoms, with regular in-person follow-ups. If needed, based on severity, the doctor may recommend hospitalization, though less than 1% of patients have required this escalation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Pune have been proactive in the adoption of these services, with services primarily focused on treating conditions such as viral fever, dengue, enteric fever, acute gastroenteritis, and respiratory infections. More than 15,000 patients have benefitted from Star Health Insurance’s Home Health Care program via a combination of Home admissions as well as Home based Consultations.</p>
<p>The expansion has been facilitated through partnerships with leading healthcare providers, including Care24, Portea, Argala, Athulya and Apollo.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8211;        <strong>Free Bone Scans Across 46 Cities to Promote Early Detection and Preventive Care &#8211;</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Bengaluru, October 21, 2024:</strong> In the lead-up to World Osteoporosis Day on October 20, Star Health and Allied Insurance, India’s leading standalone health insurer, has announced the launch of a major nationwide campaign aimed at raising awareness about osteoporosis. This year’s campaign, with a special focus on women who account for a staggering 69% of diagnosed osteoporosis cases in India, seeks to educate the public about the disease and encourage early diagnosis and preventive measures.</p>
<p>As part of this initiative, Star Health will offer free bone scans in over 46 cities across India, including Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore, on October 19, 2024. These scans will be accompanied by educational wellness camps where attendees will receive nutritional advice, consultations with healthcare professionals, and resources on how to prevent and manage osteoporosis.</p>
<p><strong>Mr. Anand Roy, MD &amp; CEO of Star Health Insurance</strong>, emphasized the company’s commitment to promoting preventive healthcare, “Osteoporosis is the most common bone disease, affecting 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50. Our goal with this initiative is to provide the tools for early detection and to empower people to take proactive steps in managing their bone health. By offering free bone scans and running awareness camps across the country, we aim to reduce the long-term impact of osteoporosis and improve the quality of life for people at risk. This initiative is part of Star Health’s larger wellness focus on preventive healthcare and creating a healthier Bharat.”</p>
<p><strong>Osteoporosis in India: A Growing Concern</strong></p>
<p>Osteoporosis, a condition that leads to weakened bones and increased risk of fractures, often goes undiagnosed and untreated, especially among women. Due to hormonal changes with age, women are at a higher risk, and the disease typically remains silent until a fracture occurs. This can have a debilitating impact on quality of life, leading to long-term disability or even mortality.</p>
<p>From FY 2015 to H1-FY 2025, Star Health has processed 1,566 osteoporosis-related claims, with women accounting for the overwhelming majority. These statistics highlight the pressing need for increased public awareness and preventive measures, especially among women, who are disproportionately affected. Without early detection, osteoporosis can go unnoticed until bones have become so fragile that even minor incidents can result in fractures.</p>
<p><strong>Campaign Highlights</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Free bone scans in over 46 cities across India on October 19, including major metros like Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore.</li>
<li>50 Wellness Camps offering nutritional guidance, consultations with specialized healthcare professionals, and educational sessions on osteoporosis prevention and treatment.</li>
<li>A focus on women’s health, as they represent the largest demographic affected by Osteoporosis, accounting for 69% of the cases processed by Star Health.</li>
<li>A call to action urging the public to &#8220;step up for bone health&#8221; by ensuring regular exercise, maintaining a bone-healthy diet, and adopting lifestyle changes to prevent bone deterioration.</li>
</ul>
<p>Osteoporosis, a condition that leads to weakened bones and a higher risk of fractures, it is a silent disease that at the best of times often remains undiagnosed and untreated. The disease primarily affects women due to hormonal changes with age, but it also increasingly affects men. Star Health’s awareness and screening initiative seeks to address the lack of early diagnosis and encourage preventive care across all demographics. This is why the 2024 campaign for World Osteoporosis Day by Star Health Insurance we urge the public and patients to &#8216;step up for bone health&#8217; by ensuring regular exercise, eating a bone-healthy diet and changing lifestyle habits.</p>
<p>Osteoporosis is a silent epidemic that affects millions globally, but in India, its prevalence is rising, particularly among post-menopausal women. Despite its widespread impact, the disease often remains undiagnosed until a fracture occurs, leading to significant health, social, and economic burdens. In women, fractures due to osteoporosis can lead to serious complications such as loss of independence, reduced mobility, and a higher risk of subsequent fractures.</p>
