NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (NCDs)

About:

• The documents have been designed to supplement efforts for prevention and treatment services of NCDs related to Cardiac Sciences, Oncology, and Pulmonary Sciences at the district hospitals especially in tier 2 & 3 cities.
  
  
• The documents have been developed by NITI Aayog in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, State Governments and representatives from the healthcare industry.
  
  
• The guidelines come in the backdrop of the fact that the contribution of NCDs to the overall disease burden in the country has increased over the years as many district hospitals focus mainly on communicable diseases and reproductive and child health.
