Bihar, the largest state in Eastern India, is currently facing a major health crisis. Each district averages 2.69 lakh urban patients and 7.40 lakh rural patients suffering from hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. Alarmingly, 57% of these patients die from heart attacks, and 24% die from cerebral ischemic strokes. In total, 81% of patients with hypertension or Type 2 diabetes die due to complications from cardiac disease and strokes, especially in rural areas.
