Guwahati, January 2, 2026: As the New Year begins, doctors at Peerless Hospital Guwahati have urged people to adopt simple yet meaningful health resolutions that can significantly reduce medical emergencies and improve overall well-being.
Highlighting the importance of preventive healthcare, specialists at Peerless Hospital Guwahati have advised individuals to prioritise annual health check-ups, particularly for the early detection of lifestyle-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Regular monitoring of vital parameters, they noted, plays a crucial role in preventing complications later in life.
Doctors also emphasised the growing need for mental health awareness, encouraging people to check in on their emotional well-being, manage stress effectively and seek professional support when required. “Mental health is an essential part of overall health and should be treated with the same seriousness as physical ailments,” the advisory stated.
Addressing women’s health, the hospital underscored the importance of routine screenings and timely medical consultations for conditions such as anaemia, thyroid disorders and other common yet often overlooked health issues.
“The New Year is an opportunity for people to take greater responsibility for their health. Simple resolutions such as regular health check-ups, responsible driving and attention to mental well-being can prevent many emergencies. Awareness of the Golden Hour and public cooperation during emergencies can make a life-saving difference,” said Dr. Gautam Kr Das, CEO, Peerless Hospital Guwahati.
As part of its New Year advisory, Peerless Hospital Guwahati also drew attention to road safety and responsible driving practices, urging people to strictly avoid drink-and-drive, wear seatbelts and helmets, and follow traffic rules. The hospital reiterated the critical role of the Golden Hour – the first hour after a serious injury or medical emergency – during which timely medical intervention can save lives.
Doctors appealed to motorists and the public to give way to ambulances and emergency vehicles, noting that collective awareness and cooperation are vital components of effective emergency response.
Through this New Year Health Resolution advisory, Peerless Hospital Guwahati reaffirmed its commitment to promoting preventive healthcare, public safety and timely emergency care for the community.
