Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are chronic conditions that are not transmitted from person to person and typically develop over a long period. Major NCDs include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and mental health disorders. These diseases are the leading cause of death globally and are strongly associated with lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, harmful alcohol consumption, and environmental exposures. NCDs often require long-term management and can lead to disability, reduced quality of life, and significant economic burden. Public health strategies to address NCDs focus on prevention through health promotion, early detection, and improved access to treatment and care. Policies that support healthy environments, encourage behavioral change, and reduce risk factors are essential. Reducing the burden of NCDs is critical for achieving sustainable development and improving global population health.
