The Hindu Feature

We’re so proud to see our very own Tina Aswani-Omprakash and Madhura Balasubramaniam featured in the prestigious newspaper, The Hindu!

This powerful piece highlights the realities faced by Indians living with Crohn’s disease – from navigating an invisible illness, to cultural stigma, and the pressure to appear “normal”. The article discusses the ongoing challenges around diagnosis, treatment access, and continuity of care. It brings much-needed attention to the emotional burden, isolation, and resilience that so often go unseen.

At SAIA, our mission is clear: to keep making the invisible, visible.
