Adayu Mindfulness
As a part of the Fortis National Mental Health program, we are launching Adayu Mindfulness, a Fortis Group Company, as a dedicated vertical for comprehensive mental health care. Adayu is derived from the word ‘ayu’ which connotes age, representing the meaning ‘adding on to life’. Adayu marks a new chapter in our journey as we merge innovation and digitalization with clinical excellence. Adayu shall focus on bringing digital tele-mental health and residential in-patient mental health services including both acute psychiatry, deaddiction and rehabilitation.
Dr Samir Parikh, Chairman, Fortis National Mental Health Program, Fortis Healthcare said, “As a part of the Fortis National Mental Health program, we are launching Adayu Mindfulness, a Fortis Group Company, as a dedicated vertical for comprehensive mental health care. India’s mental health burden is estimated at USD 2-3 billion with about 1 in every 8 people estimated to be suffering from a mental health disorder in some form. Hence, mental wellness solutions are pertinent especially in a society like India where mental health is deeply stigmatised leading to lack of awareness. Having pioneered various initiatives and campaigns on mental health and holistic wellness, the launch of Adayu marks a new chapter in our journey as we merge innovation and AI with clinical excellence and will be offering highest level of care, striving towards our endeavour to foster awareness, improve access.”
