Every empowered young person has the potential to create change.  Kajal’s story is a testament to how knowledge, confidence, and small changes empower youth to lead community transformation. Through the #AstraZeneca India, supported Young Health Programme (YHP), Kajal discovered the value of healthy habits and made a commitment to nurture her own wellbeing, sparking broader change for those around her.  As a Peer Educator, she helped peers understand the links between lifestyle choices and non-communicable diseases, breaking silences around sexual and reproductive health and encouraging open dialogue through creative approaches.   AstraZeneca is proud to support initiatives where youth voices are central to better health outcomes and community resilience. Kajal’s experience is just one example of the 15 years of meaningful transformation made possible by #YHP.

The transformation of communities often begins with the courage of one young leader.  Pradip’s inspiring journey from teenager to academy owner exemplifies how investing in youth leadership drives meaningful change. Supported by the #AstraZeneca India, in partnership with Plan_India, Young Health Programme (YHP), Pradip began his path at 15 by attending health workshops and supporting peers in overcoming addiction. Taking on the role of Peer Educator, he led over 1,000 adolescents through sessions on life skills, mental well-being, gender equity, and sexual and reproductive health, building confidence and creating safer spaces for young people in his community.  Today, as an entrepreneur, Pradip continues to advance his commitment to youth empowerment, showcasing the powerful ripple effect that occurs when young people are trusted, informed, and supported.  Celebrating impactful stories like Pradip’s at the National Seminar on Non-Communicable diseases (NCD) Prevention through YHP reminds us of the lasting difference these initiatives make. At #AstraZeneca, we remain committed to unlocking the full potential of youth to shape healthier, more resilient communities. 

We are proud to support the National Seminar on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) Prevention as part of the Young Health Programme (YHP) in Delhi, a vital initiative under our partnership with Plan_India.   For 15 years, #YHP has empowered young people aged 10–24 to make healthier choices, and during the seminar, our alumni shared their journeys of transformation and resilience. Their stories highlight the programme’s measurable impact and the importance of collaborative action in preventing NCDs. Thanks to all speakers and participants whose passion drives sustainable change. Together with our partners, #AstraZeneca remains committed to enabling healthier, longer lives for future generations by fostering prevention, education, and community engagement.

Let's change that. aHUS or Atypical Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome is a rare disease that can affect both children and adults. It happens when the complement system (part of the immune system) becomes overactive and attacks healthy cells. What are the symptoms of aHUS? • Fatigue • Kidney problems • High BP • Headaches and seizures aHUS can be life-threatening if untreated, but early diagnosis and treatment can make a huge difference. This aHUS Day, AstraZeneca reaffirms its commitment to raising awareness, supporting early detection, and advancing research into rare diseases.
