About SSC :

In November 2023, as India grappled with the escalating burden of chronic diseases, a quiet revolution began. The Society for Study on Chronic Diseases (SSC) was founded not with grand proclamations but with a resolute purpose: to reimagine how India confronts chronic illness and to position the nation as a global leader in innovative, compassionate healthcare. What started as a spark in the minds of a few visionaries has grown into a movement, fueled by science, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to better health outcomes for all.

The SSC story began with a pivotal webinar on India’s diabetes epidemic, where luminaries like Dr. Prasanna Kumar, Dr. Sarita Bajaj, and Dr. PK Jabbar shared not just expertise but a bold vision. They asked a question that became our guiding star: What if India could not only manage chronic diseases but set a global benchmark for how it’s done? From that moment, SSC became a platform for action, innovation, and hope.

Our Vision: India as a Global Leader

SSC is not just about addressing chronic diseases—it’s about redefining what’s possible. We envision a future where:

India leads the world in chronic disease management, with solutions that are inclusive, scalable, and sustainable.
Technology and science work hand-in-hand to deliver personalized, accessible healthcare.
Every individual, regardless of background, has the tools and knowledge to live healthier, longer lives.

This is more than a mission—it’s a calling. A calling to make India a beacon of hope and innovation in global healthcare.

Our Journey: From Vision to Victory

SSC didn’t just identify challenges—it tackled them head-on, blending global scientific rigor with India’s unique context. Our milestones reflect this ethos.

BRS-D (Bharat Risk Score – Dysglycemia): A trailblazing risk assessment tool designed for India, by India. BRS-D adapts global methodologies to local realities, offering enhanced sensitivity and precision in identifying dysglycemia risk. Validated through rigorous research, it stands as a beacon of indigenous scientific excellence, proving that solutions born in Bharat can transform lives.

BEACON 2024: Launched in June 2024, our flagship annual conference redefined how chronic disease management is approached. With over 400 delegates, 100+ thought leaders, and a vibrant exchange of ideas, BEACON 2024 became a crucible for innovation. From cutting-edge diabetes technologies to the electrifying “Beacon Super Sixers” team debates, it was a space where intellect met inspiration, sparking solutions that resonate far beyond the conference halls.

Tech Santé for Doctors: Set to debut at BEACON 2.0 2025 (June 14-15, Radisson Blu, Bangalore), this groundbreaking initiative bridges the gap between health tech startups and clinicians. By fostering dialogue between innovators and frontline healthcare providers, Tech Santé ensures that technology serves real-world needs, creating tools that empower doctors and improve patient outcomes. At BEACON 2.0, this platform will take center stage, redefining the role of technology in Indian healthcare.

Beyond Events: SSC’s impact extends far beyond conferences.

Our initiatives include:

National Webinars on critical topics like prediabetes and endocrine circadian rhythms, fostering knowledge-sharing among healthcare professionals.
India’s First Pituitary Registry, a pioneering effort to advance endocrine research.
Phase 2 Validation of BRS-D, strengthening its reliability and reach.
A bold mission to screen 10 million adults for diabetes risk, bringing early detection to the masses.
Multiple Publications in leading journals, amplifying India’s voice in global health research.
Three Abstracts accepted for the International Diabetes Federation Conference 2025 in Bangkok, showcasing SSC’s growing influence on the world stage.
