On World Hypertension Day 2023, the Government of India unveiled revised guidelines for the NPNCD, targeting 75 million individuals with hypertension, diabetes, or both by 2025. This ambitious endeavor aims to provide standard care at primary healthcare levels, marking a significant stride in NCD management globally.
Amidst these challenges, there’s a pressing opportunity to bolster infrastructure, supplies, and human resources at health centers and drive community engagement for NCD services. The People to People Health Foundation (PPHF) has stepped in to bridge these gaps, enhancing NCD service delivery efficiency and community mobilization efforts.

4. Enhance the capacity of PHC and UPHC health teams to provide essential NCD services effectively.
