This document provides an overview and summary of the India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative report. It acknowledges contributions from advisory boards and expert groups in health areas such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and injuries. The initiative was a collaboration between the Indian Council of Medical Research, Public Health Foundation of India, and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation to analyze disease burden trends in India from 1990 to 2016 at the state level. The report findings inform health policy and planning to reduce disease burden through strategies like addressing risk factors, improving health systems and financing, and strengthening health data collection.
