Sridhar Nadamuni

SRIDHAR NADAMUNI develops healthcare communications that provide practitioners and lay audiences with cutting-edge disease-state and therapeutic educational and training interventions supported by evidence-based medicine. Programs are chosen for their relevance and feasibility to clinical practice and public health utility and awareness. SRIDHAR NADAMUNI has the international outreach to accomplish the widest possible public health information needs of professionals and health-conscious consumers alike.

SRIDHAR NADAMUNI is fully cognizant of the gravity of the public health challenges worldwide:

According to the World Health Organization, "Of the 56.4 million deaths worldwide in 2015, more than half (54%) were due to the top 10 causes. Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the world’s biggest killers, accounting for a combined 15 million deaths in 2015. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease claimed 3.2 million lives in 2015, while lung cancer (along with trachea and bronchus cancers) caused 1.7 million deaths. Diabetes killed 1.6 million people in 2015, up from less than 1 million in 2000. Deaths due to dementias more than doubled between 2000 and 2015, making it the 7th leading cause of global deaths in 2015.

Lower respiratory infections remained the most deadly communicable disease, causing 3.2 million deaths worldwide in 2015. The death rate from diarrhoeal diseases almost halved between 2000 and 2015, but still caused 1.4 million deaths in 2015. Similarly, tuberculosis killed fewer people during the same period, but is still among the top 10 causes with a death toll of 1.4 million. HIV/AIDS is no longer among the world’s top 10 causes of death, having killed 1.1 million people in 2015 compared with 1.5 million in 2000.

Road injuries killed 1.3 million people in 2015, about three-quarters (76%) of whom were men and boys."

The imperative for effective healthcare measures to stem the tide of these staggering statistics cannot be overstated. In addition to governments and partnerships worldwide, care-givers, health systems and societies at every level need to get their act together to deliver the requisite goods and services.

SRIDHAR NADAMUNI hopes to achieve these aims by customized delivery of health information (for both the practitioner/policy maker and the patient) on demand;

extracting patient-specific healthcare information (from peer-reviewed literature and controlled clinical trials as available) and approved by key opinion leaders, vis-à-vis the current regulatory framework.

Sridhar Nadamuni has a history of successfully delivering e-Marketing and Web services in support of related program branding and social media initiatives in the realm of health care.

SRIDHAR NADAMUNI has developed extensive Medical Writing/Editing expertise and has the capabilities to meet the needs and requirements of target audiences internationally based on the objectives, scope of work and deliverables in question. SRIDHAR NADAMUNI has worked in harnessing the online medium in the prevention of chronic diseases, like cancer and heart disease, prevent injuries and respond to public health emergencies and infectious disease outbreaks.

SRIDHAR NADAMUNI understands the imperative to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders at the Federal, provincial and territorial levels in an effort to ensure the health of audiences internationally to help reduce pressures on the health care system. As well, the need for collaboration with pharmaceutical and healthcare industry cannot be overstated.
