This initiative is recognized as the most extensive expansion of NCDs in primary healthcare on a global scale.Outcome Budget Inclusion: The Outcome Budget document of the Union Budget for 2023-2024 included hypertension and diabetes treatment as output indicators for the first time. This reflects the government\u2019s commitment to scaling up coverage services for these NCDs.National Programme for Prevention and Control of NCDs (NP-NCD): The Government of India initiated NP-NCD in\u00a02010\u00a0under the National Health Mission (NHM) to strengthen infrastructure, human resource development, health promotion, early diagnosis, management, and referral.Ayushman Bharat: The Ayushman Bharat initiative is translating policy intent into budgetary commitment to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC).Initiatives and EffortsDr. Pawar highlighted various initiatives and efforts to tackle NCDs in India:Population-Based Screening (PBS): Under the Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) program, individuals aged 30 and above are targeted for risk assessment and screening of common NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes, oral cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer. These services are provided through trained frontline health workers, with continuity of care ensured through all levels of healthcare delivery systems.e-Sanjeevani: Teleconsultation services for NCDs are provided to citizens through e-Sanjeevani, leveraging information technology to overcome geographical and accessibility barriers.Collaboration with Ministries: India collaborates with other Union Ministries and Departments, such as the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the Ministry of Ayush, for activities like the\u00a0Fit India Movement\u00a0and yoga-related activities.Public Awareness: Various initiatives, including the observation of International &amp; National Health Days and the use of print, electronic, and social media, are employed to increase public awareness about NCDs and promote a healthy lifestyle.Role of Digital Health TechnologiesDr. Pawar emphasized the role of technology in improving the last mile delivery of healthcare services, particularly in the management and prevention of NCDs:National NCD Portal: This portal is used for the prevention, control, screening, and management of common NCDs. It captures primary-level information at public health facilities for individual-wise screening and treatment compliance. It also features a Single Longitudinal Health Record for each individual in the cloud, identified by a\u00a0Unique Health ID\u00a0(ABHA ID), ensuring data availability and care continuity.A Global Collaborative ApproachDr. Pawar concluded by reiterating India\u2019s dedicated commitment to preventing and controlling NCDs.

In the spirit of\u00a0\u2018One Earth, One Health,\u2019 India underscored the need for nations to collaborate and share successes, advocating for a collective approach to address the challenges posed by NCDs.
