Antara , Indias most comprehensive senior care ecosystem offering end-to-end solutions across all stages of ageing, has opened an integrative medicine clinic in Gurugram, purpose-built for managing chronic conditions. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic (AIWC) brings integrative medicine, combining modern medicine with evidence-based holistic therapies, into Antaras continuum of care for the first time. Here, a multidisciplinary team of doctors deliver personalised care plans that take a holistic view of a person rather than treating symptoms. The launch marks a significant evolution in how Antara serves seniors, and in how health and wellbeing can be approached as Indias population gets older, the disease burden grows, and the gap between lifespan and health span widens. The Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram Globally, integrative medicine has gained acceptance for its role in improving outcomes in chronic disease management and enhancing quality of life. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises it as an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach that combines conventional medicine with traditional therapies, such as Ayurveda and energy healing, to look at the mind, body and spirit together; the focus is on the root cause of illness, not just its symptoms. Ms. Tara Singh Vachani, Executive Chairperson, Antara Senior Care , said, Antara has spent more than a decade walking alongside families through all stages of ageing. We have seen them navigate the complexities of a fragmented healthcare system, disjointed treatment plans and episodic care that seldom restore quality of life. Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic is our answer to preserve seniors dignity and independence. It is built on the conviction that patients problems should be addressed holistically as good health is a combination of physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. As Indias senior population and chronic disease burden grow, fully integrated, holistic wellness models will become key to unlocking a healthy society . Mr. Rajit Mehta, CEO & MD, Antara Senior Care , said, Indians are living longer, but the years added are too often years lived with disease, dependency and fatigue. The gap between lifespan and health span is the gap we strive to close. Our goal is straightforward: help seniors live their best life possible; prevent the hospital visits we can, reduce medication where possible, and restore function where we can. At AIWC, seniors benefit from a coordinated care journey designed by one multidisciplinary team, beginning with a comprehensive health assessment, followed by personalised wellness plan, and multi-pronged approach that addresses physical, mental and emotional health. Dr. Pankaj Verma, Medical Director, Antara Integrated Wellness Clinic , explained, In integrative medicine, modern medicine is the anchor, and traditional systems work alongside it to address lifestyle, stress, the inflammation that sits underneath chronic diseases. For a senior with diabetes, hypertension and joint pain, coming to AIWC means a clear focus on addressing the root causethe hidden mind-body link that often feeds the disease. Over time, many of our patients can reduce their pill load and recover function they had given up on. This is what whole-person medicine looks like in practice . Antaras integrative clinic offerings combine functional medicine consultations, Ayurvedaprakriti analysis, advanced therapies such as IV cellular nutrition (high-dose Vitamin C, Glutathione), medical-grade ozone therapy and Far Infrared sauna, classical Ayurveda and Panchakarma, acupuncture, energy and vibrational healing, and integrative counselling. Care is organised through 10 condition-focused programmes: JointCare, HeartCare, DiabetesCare, BreathCare, GutCare, LiverCare, MindCare, WeightCare, and CancerCare, the last designed as complementary support alongside standard oncology care. For India, care pathways like integrative medicine are becoming increasingly important as its senior population is set to more than double to 347 million by 2050, bringing with it unique clinical needs that the traditional healthcare system cannot address alone. About Antara Senior Care Launched in 2013, Antara is the senior-care business of Max India Limited, part of the USD 7-billion Max Group. It is an integrated ecosystem for senior care, operating in two main lines of business Residences for Seniors and Assisted Care Services. Antaras first senior residential community in Dehradun, comprising nearly 200 families, caters to their social, recreational, educational, wellness, and health-related needs.

Kohli To Miss Afghanistan ODIs With Hamstring Injury: Report
Narendra Modi Stadium: India have been dealt a massive blow ahead of the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, as star batter Virat Kohli will reportedly miss the series due to injury. Several reports claimed that Kohli is suffering from a hamstring injury and will not take part in the upcoming three-match contest against their Asian counterparts. It's not clear when and where Kohli suffered the hamstring injury, but it very well could have happened during the 2026 IPL final on 31 May at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Kohli's absence could prove to be a double blow for India as former captain Rohit Sharma's availability is also unclear due to an injury he suffered during IPL 2026. Rohit and Hardik Pandya were picked in the squad subject to fitness clearance and while the all-rounder has checked in, the former captain is yet to reach Bengaluru. The three-match series will begin on June 13 in Dharamsala at the HPCA Stadium. The two teams then move to Lucknow for the second ODI at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on June 17. The final ODI takes place June 20, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Rohit and Hardik Pandya were picked in the squad subject to fitness clearance and while the all-rounder has checked in, the former captain is yet to reach Bengaluru.

Women's Cancer Awareness: Early Detection and Advanced Surgical Treatments Are Saving Lives
Cancer continues to be one of the leading health concerns among women worldwide. While breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women, cancers of the cervix, ovary, uterus, and thyroid also contribute significantly to the disease burden. The encouraging news is that advancements in medical science, early diagnosis, and modern treatment options are helping women achieve better outcomes and improved quality of life. Dr. Naveen Padmanabhan, Consultant & Head of Surgical Oncology at Equitas Hospital, Chennai, Expert in GI, breast, and thoracic oncology The Importance of Awareness and Early Detection One of the most effective ways to combat cancer is through awareness and timely medical intervention. Many cancers develop gradually and may not show obvious symptoms in their early stages. Regular health check-ups, understanding family medical history, and paying attention to unusual changes in the body can play a crucial role in early diagnosis. Common warning signs that women should not ignore include: Unexplained lumps or swelling Persistent abdominal bloating Abnormal bleeding or discharge Sudden weight loss Chronic fatigue Changes in bowel or bladder habits Persistent pain that does not resolve Seeking medical attention at the earliest sign of concern can significantly improve treatment success rates. How Cancer Treatment Has Evolved Cancer treatment has witnessed remarkable advancements over the past decade. Today, treatment plans are personalized based on the type of cancer, stage of disease, and overall health of the patient. Multidisciplinary teams comprising surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists work together to deliver comprehensive care. Among the most significant developments has been the evolution of surgical techniques that focus on effective cancer removal while preserving healthy tissue and improving recovery outcomes. Advanced Surgical Options for Womens Cancers Modern cancer surgery has moved beyond traditional open procedures in many cases. Advanced techniques now offer greater precision, reduced pain, and faster recovery. Minimally Invasive Surgery Many gynecological and abdominal cancers can now be treated using minimally invasive techniques. These procedures require smaller incisions, resulting in less blood loss, reduced postoperative discomfort, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to daily activities. Laparoscopic Surgery Laparoscopic procedures utilize specialized instruments and high-definition cameras to remove tumors with exceptional precision. This approach has become increasingly common in the treatment of certain uterine, ovarian, and cervical cancers. Robotic-Assisted Surgery Robotic technology has further enhanced surgical precision by providing surgeons with improved visualization and greater control during complex procedures. This enables more accurate tumor removal while preserving surrounding healthy structures whenever possible. Organ-Preserving Surgeries Advances in surgical planning and imaging allow doctors to remove cancerous tissue while preserving organ function whenever clinically appropriate. Such approaches can significantly improve long-term quality of life for patients. Dr. Naveen Padmanabhan , Consultant & Head - Surgical Oncology at Sringeri Sharada Equitas Hospital says that , Cancer is no longer viewed solely as a life-threatening diagnosis. With increasing awareness, timely diagnosis, advanced surgical techniques, targeted therapies, and comprehensive cancer care, many women are successfully overcoming cancer and leading healthy, fulfilling lives. He alsoemphasized that awareness, regular medical consultations, and prompt attention to symptoms remain the strongest tools in the fight against cancer. By prioritizing their health and seeking timely medical advice, women can greatly improve their chances of successful treatment and long-term well-being. Remember: Early action can make all the difference. Awareness today can save lives tomorrow.

Vijay Hazare Trophy: After earning his maiden India call-up for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey expressed that the opportunity to potentially share the field and dressing room with veterans of the game, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, is a dream he has carried throughout his cricketing journey. Dubey, who was one of the stars of Vidarbha's triumphant 2024-25 Ranji Trophy campaign and captained Vidarbha to their maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy title in 2025, is the one of three uncapped players selected in India's ODI squad alongside pacers Prince Yadav and Gurnoor Brar. If you ask any young cricketer who they want to play with right now, the first two names will be Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. I have grown up watching them. Ever since I started understanding cricket, they have been performing for India and dominating world cricket. So, getting a chance to play with them is a huge achievement for me. I always wanted to play alongside at least one legend before they retire or whenever their final phase comes. Even if I get to play one match with them, it will be a dream-come-true moment for me, Dubey told JioStar. India's ODI squad for the Afghanistan series includes both Kohli and Rohit, although the latter's participation remains subject to fitness clearance following a hamstring injury suffered during IPL 2026. Dubey's call-up comes as India continue their preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup, with the selectors rewarding the youngster after his impressive performances. He had also recently been named in India's Test squad for the one-off game in New Chandigarh. The youngster revealed that despite being selected for the Sri Lanka A ODI tri-series, he never imagined an India call-up would arrive so soon, let alone in both formats. To be honest, as soon as my name came up for Sri Lanka A ODI tri-series, I felt I was not really in the scheme of things yet. So, I told myself to focus on the IPL for now and think about the tri-series when the time came. I genuinely had no idea my name could come up, let alone in both formats. So, honestly, I have no words for it, he said. Dubey then recounted the surreal moment when he first learned about his selection. We had reached the airport and found out our flight was delayed by an hour. I got a call from someone managing a cricket social media page, asking how I felt about my name being in the ODI series. Because of the noise and network issues in the lounge, I thought he was referring to the Sri Lanka A ODI tri-series, so I said it felt like one step closer to the dream and that my focus was still on the IPL. As soon as I hung up, I started getting messages saying I had received both the Test and ODI call-ups. I was confused because the squad had just been announced, so I quickly checked online and saw the news. It honestly took me a few minutes to process what had happened. Even when Murali sir asked me who the other spinners in the squad were, I told him I had only seen my own name. It genuinely felt like I was dreaming, Dubey stated. While many have already begun to view him as a potential long-term option in India's spin department, Dubey insisted he is not looking too far ahead. If you ask any cricketer, he will say that he wants to play for India and play for a long time. But instead of thinking too far ahead, I prefer to focus on what is in my hands, one game at a time. If I am playing an IPL game today, my focus is on what I can do better today. If I am playing for India tomorrow, I will focus on what more I can do for my team, rather than thinking about playing for the next 10 years.
