Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are medical conditions that are not transmitted from one person to another. They include diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases. NCDs are often linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of physical activity, and tobacco use.
These diseases are a major global health concern, contributing to a significant number of deaths each year. Prevention strategies focus on promoting healthier lifestyles, early detection, and effective management of existing conditions. Addressing NCDs is essential for improving public health and reducing healthcare costs worldwide.
