In this video, Amanda Fretts, PhD, MPH, Jason Deen, MD, and Marie Gross, RN, MPH, discuss the continuing impact of the Strong Heart Study in American Indian communities — and encourage American Indians to get involved in clinical research. The Strong Heart Study (SHS) is a long-term study of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors among American Indians. Figuring out how common — and how serious — CVD is among American Indians has been challenging.
The Indian health care scenario is very complex and heterogeneous covering a range from world-class private tertiary care facilities to deplorably inadequate public services at all levels, including primary disease care. A system to provide affordable, accessible and effective health care and disease care to all the citizens of the nation is an urgent requirement of the country and should be based on a strong foundation of primary care and Family Medicine/ General Practice.
The Indian Association of Palliative care (IAPC) definition of Palliative Care (Medicine) states that “Palliative Care is the active total care applicable from the time of diagnosis, aimed at improving the quality of life of patients and their families facing serious life-limiting illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering from pain and other physical symptoms as well as psychological, social and spiritual distress throughsocially acceptable and affordable interventions”.

Post graduate training programme in Nuclear Medicine consists of an integrated training course of three years duration and would enable the post graduate student to practice nuclear medicine safely
