Non-Communicable Disease Control Program by MujahidHOME
This document summarizes several national programs in India that aim to control and prevent non-communicable diseases. It discusses the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS), the National Program for Control of Blindness, the National Mental Health Program, the National Program for Healthcare of the Elderly, the National Program for Prevention and Control of Deafness, the National Oral Health Program, and programs for organ transplantation, fluorosis control, and iodine deficiency disorders. The document provides background on the objectives, strategies and interventions of each program. It concludes that chronic diseases pose a serious global threat but cost-effective national programs can improve health outcomes.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung disease are major causes of death and disability in India. They account for over 40% of deaths in the country. The government has launched some programs to address NCDs, but more comprehensive prevention and management is needed. A proposed new national program would integrate health promotion, screening, treatment and care across primary, secondary and tertiary levels to curb the growing NCD burden through a multi-sectoral approach.
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 to improve healthcare access in rural India. It aims to provide universal access to public health services and reduce child and maternal mortality. Key features include decentralizing healthcare delivery, community involvement, monitoring progress against standards, and convergence of related programs. The mission covers India's rural population of 740 million people. It seeks to increase public health spending, revitalize traditional medicine, and address disparities across states through decentralized district-level management. Challenges include regional healthcare variations, health being managed at the state-level, increasing focus on goals, and facilitating convergence of different programs.
Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes now account for over half of deaths in India and place a large economic burden. The National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, CVD and Strokes (NPCDCS) aims to address NCDs through health promotion, screening, diagnosis, management, and capacity building integrated into primary healthcare. Current programs have had limited implementation; a comprehensive and widespread approach is still needed to reduce the growing NCD burden in India.
National Programme for Control of Blindness.pptxdrprincealex84
The National Program for Control of Blindness aims to reduce the prevalence of blindness in India. It aims to establish comprehensive eye care facilities across districts to provide services like cataract surgeries. Major causes of blindness addressed are cataract, refractive errors, and glaucoma. Strategies involve developing infrastructure, training eye care workers, and conducting outreach activities. Key activities include cataract surgeries, screening school children, treating vitamin A deficiency, and engaging NGOs and private sectors. The program is managed through various levels from national to district levels. International agencies like WHO and Danida also support the program through training, surveys, and infrastructure development.
The document summarizes several national health programs in India, including their objectives, functioning, and outcomes. It describes programs related to iodine deficiency, leprosy, mental health, palliative care, oral health, organ transplant, blindness prevention, and fluorosis prevention and control.

are neither the permanent health staff nor skilled enough to
handle.
27. >Once again a series of training program will start for
all levels of health professionals without identifying the
impact factors of previous trainings on other subjects
>In 12th Five Year Plan not much emphasis is given
on this program.
> Similarly in NRHM, it is low priority.
28. NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
• India is experiencing a rapid health transition with large and rising burden
of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) especially cardiovascular
disease, diabetes mellitus, cancer, stroke, and chronic lung diseases.
• It is estimated that in 2005 NCDs accounted for 53 per cent of deaths.
• Considering the fact that NCDs are surpassing the burden of
communicable diseases in India, need for National Programme on
Prevention and Control of Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke
was envisaged.
• Later on this programme was integrated with National Cancer Control
Programme, and National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer,
Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) was launched.
