Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs)

Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) represent a significant global health burden, responsible for over 70% of deaths worldwide. Effective prevention and control strategies are crucial, including lifestyle interventions such as healthy diet, regular exercise, and mental health care. Policy and public health initiatives play a vital role in combating NCDs, emphasizing the need for regulations on tobacco and alcohol use, promoting physical activity, and ensuring access to nutritious foods. Community-based programs and education campaigns can empower individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles, reducing the incidence and impact of NCDs. Collaboration across sectors is essential to address this growing public health challenge comprehensively.
