Hospital stocks face pressure as Supreme Court scrutiny over medicine mark-ups raises concerns over pharmacy revenues.

With tighter pricing regulation also in focus, could this become a broader overhang for India’s hospital sector?

❤️ WORLD HEART DAY | A MUST-WATCH FOR EVERY FAMILY

For this special CNBC-TV18 World Heart Day show, I spoke to three leading cardiologists from Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital — Dr Ajit Menon, Dr Ashish Contractor and Dr Ashwin Mehta — about questions that could genuinely save a life.

Don't ignore the warning signs. Sometimes they appear weeks or even months before a heart attack.

❤️ This isn't just a health show. It's a conversation every family should have.

On World Heart Day, Dr Ajit Menon of Reliance Foundation Hospital, explains the warning signs of a heart problem, from chest discomfort and tightness to breathlessness and pain radiating to the jaw or arms.

Some symptoms can be mistaken for acidity or ignored altogether. Knowing the warning signs and seeking medical attention when needed can be crucial for heart health.
