Published on: 10th October 2025 | New Delhi

Excessive sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, skin pigmentation, and even skin cancer. With India’s tropical climate and high UV levels, dermatologists stress the importance of sun protection as a daily routine rather than a seasonal concern.

At Moolchand Hospital, one of Delhi’s top multispeciality hospitals, Dr. Payal Gupta, Consultant – Dermatology, emphasizes that “consistent sun protection can dramatically reduce the risk of long-term damage and maintain healthy, youthful skin.” Backed by cutting-edge technology, compassionate care, and affordable excellence, Moolchand continues to offer patients personalized, evidence-based dermatological care.

Why Sun Protection Matters

• Shields skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays
• Prevents photoaging, pigmentation, and wrinkles
• Reduces the risk of skin cancers
• Helps preserve even skin tone and elasticity

Best Practices for Sun Protection

1. Apply Sunscreen Daily: Use SPF 30 or higher, preferably a broad-spectrum sunscreen covering both UVA and UVB rays.
2. Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for wide-brimmed hats, long sleeves, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
3. Avoid Peak Sun Hours: Limit outdoor exposure between 10 AM – 4 PM.
4. Seek Shade: When outside for long durations, use umbrellas or shaded areas.
5. Reapply Frequently: Every 2–3 hours, and immediately after swimming or sweating.
6. Protect Lips and Eyes: Use UV-safe lip balms and protective eyewear.

When to Go to the Emergency Room vs. When to Visit Urgent Care

Oct 29, 2025

By Dr. Abbas Ali Khatai, Consultant – Moolchand Centre for Emergency and Urgent Care, Moolchand Hospital
Published on: 10th October 2025 | New Delhi

When a medical emergency strikes, knowing where to go can make all the difference. Not every health issue needs the Emergency Room (ER), but delaying critical care can be life-threatening. At Moolchand Hospital, one of Delhi’s most trusted healthcare institutions, Dr. Abbas Ali Khatai, Consultant at the Moolchand Centre for Emergency and Urgent Care, helps patients understand when to head straight to the ER and when urgent care is sufficient.

Understanding the Emergency Room (ER)

The Emergency Room is designed for life-threatening or severe conditions requiring immediate, specialized attention.
At Moolchand, the ER operates 24x7 with advanced cardiac, neurological, and trauma response systems to handle critical cases efficiently.

Seek immediate emergency care if you experience:

·       Chest pain or signs of a heart attack

·       Stroke symptoms such as slurred speech, weakness, or confusion

·       Severe breathing difficulties or asthma attacks

·       Major trauma, road accidents, or deep fractures

·       Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)

·       Loss of consciousness or seizures

When Urgent Care Is the Right Choice

Urgent Care centers provide quick, convenient treatment for conditions that need prompt attention but are not life-threatening. They bridge the gap between a routine OPD visit and an emergency.

Conditions suitable for urgent care include:

·       Minor cuts requiring stitches

·       Simple fractures or sprains

·       Fever, flu, or dehydration

·       Ear infections and sinus issues

·       Urinary tract infections

·       Mild asthma flare-ups

At Moolchand, urgent care facilities are equipped with advanced diagnostics and staffed by highly skilled physicians, ensuring fast, affordable, and effective care.

Why Choosing the Right Care Matters

Selecting between the ER and urgent care can influence both recovery and costs. Moolchand’s integrated emergency and urgent care model ensures that patients are guided honestly and promptly.

·       Integrity-driven triage: Patients are evaluated and directed to the most appropriate care setting.

·       Affordable excellence: Urgent care offers a cost-effective option for non-critical needs.

·       Cutting-edge diagnostics: Both ER and urgent care units are supported by advanced imaging and lab facilities for quick decision-making.

The Moolchand Difference

Moolchand Hospital’s emergency and urgent care services are designed with one goal: to do what’s right for you. Patients benefit from:

·       Superb physicians available 24x7

Vitamin Deficiencies in Adults: Causes, Symptoms, and Fixes

Vitamin Deficiencies in Adults: Causes, Symptoms, and Fixes

By Dr. Rajesh Kumar Meena, Senior Consultant – Internal Medicine, Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders, Endocrinology, Moolchand Hospital
Published on October 29th, 2025 | New Delhi

Introduction

Vitamin deficiencies are far more common than most adults realize — even among those who believe they’re eating well. In India, studies show that up to 67% of adults have low Vitamin D levels, and a large proportion are deficient in Vitamin B12.

Poor diet, chronic illnesses, and modern lifestyle habits all play a role in reducing vital nutrients that the body needs for energy, immunity, and overall well-being.

At Moolchand Hospital, one of the top hospitals in Delhi, superb physicians focus on early detection, cutting-edge diagnostics, and compassionate care to correct vitamin deficiencies before they lead to serious complications.

Common Causes of Vitamin Deficiencies

1. Poor Diet
Skipping meals or relying heavily on processed foods can cause low intake of essential vitamins such as A, B12, D, and C.

2. Digestive Disorders
Conditions like celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or chronic diarrhea can impair nutrient absorption.

3. Chronic Illnesses & Medications
Some long-term illnesses and medications — for instance, prolonged use of antacids — may interfere with Vitamin B12 absorption or metabolism.

4. Lifestyle Factors
Lack of sunlight exposure, smoking, excess alcohol, and chronic stress can all deplete the body’s vitamin reserves.

Symptoms to Watch Out For

Vitamin deficiencies often develop slowly and may be easy to overlook. Key warning signs include:

• Persistent fatigue and low energy
• Muscle cramps or general weakness
• Hair loss or brittle nails
• Slow wound healing
• Mood changes such as irritability or low mood
• Frequent infections due to reduced immunity
• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet (a sign of Vitamin B12 deficiency)

If these symptoms persist, it’s important to consult a physician. Simple blood tests can identify deficiencies early and guide timely treatment.

How to Fix Vitamin Deficiencies

Dr. Rajesh Kumar Meena recommends a combination of dietary changes, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments for effective management:

1. Eat a Balanced Diet
Focus on fresh, natural foods — leafy greens, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and lean proteins.

2. Take Supplements If Needed
Some deficiencies, especially of Vitamin D, B12, or iron, may need supplementation under medical supervision. Avoid self-prescribing high doses, as excess vitamins can also be harmful.

3. Improve Absorption
Combine foods wisely — for example, pair iron-rich foods with Vitamin C sources to boost absorption. Avoid caffeine and alcohol during meals as they hinder nutrient uptake.

4. Regular Monitoring
Get routine blood tests to check vitamin levels, especially after age 40 or if you have chronic health conditions.
At Moolchand, advanced diagnostic tools ensure precise and safe monitoring for all nutritional parameters.
