About Dr. Blue India

Dr. N. Murugesan, a distinguished nephrologist and founder of East Coast Hospitals in Puducherry, is affectionately known as Dr. Blue India for his mission to transform India into a ‘Blue-Zone‘—a place where people enjoy significantly longer and healthier lives.

Key Contributions:

Insulin Optimisation: Dr. Blue India’s groundbreaking research has shown that optimising insulin levels can extend the healthy lifespan of individuals by at least 10 years. Elevated insulin, often unnoticed in non-diabetics, is linked to severe health risks like heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and cancer.
Community Health Salt: Invented as a breakthrough in preventive nephrology.
COVID-19 Response: Developed and administered a protective vaccine to 7,500 individuals in Puducherry before official vaccines became available, without a single casualty. This remarkable achievement was recognised by the Prime Minister’s Office.
Medical Advancements in Puducherry: Introduced cutting-edge medical technologies, including the region’s first CT Scanner, Kidney Stone Breaking Machine, and innovations in fetal medicine.
Leadership in Public Health: Served as the personal physician to a Chief Minister and a Governor.
