Non-communicable Disease (NCD) Action Plan

The Non-communicable Disease (NCD) Action Plan is a global strategy aimed at reducing the burden of diseases that are not spread from person to person, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. These conditions are often linked to lifestyle factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and tobacco use. The plan encourages countries to implement measures like promoting healthy living, improving healthcare services, and raising awareness about NCDs. By doing so, it seeks to lower illness rates, improve quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs associated with these chronic diseases.
