During the inaugural session of the National Interventional Council (NIC) conference at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed concern over the rising incidence of heart disease and non-communicable illnesses in Uttar Pradesh. He attributed these trends to chaotic lifestyles, poor dietary habits, and reduced physical activity, particularly among younger populations. Adityanath emphasized the need for preventive healthcare, urging citizens to adopt disciplined routines, consume home-cooked meals, and engage in regular exercise and yoga.

He also highlighted the government's healthcare initiatives, including the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which offers free medical treatment up to ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) for eligible individuals. The state has expanded its medical infrastructure significantly, increasing the number of government medical colleges from 17 to 81 in the past decade. Furthermore, the government is working on making healthcare more affordable through the establishment of Medical Device Parks and Pharma Parks. Adityanath reiterated the importance of addressing food adulteration to safeguard public health, citing recent crackdowns on fake dairy products and adulterated foods.
