About Non-Communicable Diseases
Non-communicable diseases include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and other long-term conditions linked to genetic, behavioral and environmental factors. The focus is on modifiable risk factors, screening, early detection, lifestyle counselling, treatment adherence, rehabilitation and the levels of prevention, rather than infection control.
