30 Million Indians Have Sleep Apnea — Respikart Is Here to Help
New Delhi, India — With an alarming rise in respiratory issues such as sleep apnea, COPD, asthma, and post-COVID breathing difficulties, India is in the middle of a silent health crisis. According to multiple studies, nearly 30 million Indians suffer from sleep-related breathing disorders, many of whom remain undiagnosed or undertreated.
The growing demand for home respiratory care devices like CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) machines, and oxygen concentrators has created both an opportunity and a challenge. Medical equipment remains expensive for most Indian families, especially those in tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
But now, a Delhi-based company—Respikart.com—is transforming how Indians access respiratory health solutions. Through affordable rentals, expert support, and a pan-India delivery network, Respikart is democratizing respiratory care.
The Growing Respiratory Crisis in India
India’s air quality is among the worst in the world. According to the World Air Quality Report 2023, 39 of the world’s 50 most polluted cities are in India. This has led to a dramatic increase in cases of obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Additionally, after the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of patients, even in rural areas, require long-term oxygen therapy or ventilatory support at home.
Despite the rising need, awareness about sleep apnea treatment remains low. Many patients suffer from constant fatigue, snoring, high blood pressure, and depression—without realizing the root cause is disrupted sleep due to apnea.
What is Sleep Apnea and Why Does It Matter?
Sleep apnea is a serious condition where a person repeatedly stops breathing during sleep due to collapsed airways. If left untreated, it can lead to:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Cognitive decline
- Daytime fatigue and accidents
The most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea is a CPAP machine, which provides a steady stream of pressurized air to keep the airways open. However, awareness and access to such machines are still limited in India—primarily due to high costs and lack of proper guidance.
