NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF CANCER, DIABETES, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES AND STROKE By Ms. Arushi Negi M.Sc. Nursing Ist year (NPCDCS)
INTRODUCTION India is experiencing a rapid health transition with large and rising burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) . It is estimated that in 2016 NCDs accounted for 60% of deaths. As NCDs are surpassing the burden of communicable diseases in India, need for National Programme on Prevention and Control of Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke was envisaged. This programme was merged with National Cancer Control Pr ogramme During 12th Five Year Plan , this programme has covered all the districts of the country in phased manner.
National Cancer Control Programme Every year about 4 lakh deaths occur due to cancer. Cancers of oral and lungs in males and cervix and breast in females account for over 50% of all cancer deaths in India. In 1975-76 National Cancer Control Programme was launched with priorities given for equipping the premier cancer hospital/institutions. National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP): Initiated in 1982 by ICMR, which gives a picture of the magnitude and patterns of cancer.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES OF NCCP
SCHEMES
National Diabetes Control Program The National Diabetes Control Program was initiated in 1987 during 7 th five year plan in some districts of Tamil Nadu, J&K, and Karnataka . Program was not expanded to other states due to shortage of funds.
PREVENTION
PILOT PHASE OF NPCDCS The pilot programme has been planned with the objectives of providing effective promotion, prevention and control strategies to provide an integrated action plan for these chronic diseases. The pilot programme was launched on 4 January 2008 in 7 states : Assam , Punjab , Rajasthan , Karnataka , Tamil Nadu , Kerala and Andhra pradesh .

3. Assessment of Prevalence of Risk Factors
IMPLEMENTATION STRUCTURE : STATE NCD CELL : At the state level: A state NCD cell with a nodal officer will be established. District NCD cell: The programme will be run through the district health society A nodal officer to coordinate the implementation of various activities . The nodal officer will be assisted by 2 contractual consultants with competencies to manage 2 separate units of health promotion and health prevention/surveillance aspects which will constitute the district NCD cell.

Regular management and annual assessment of persons suffering cancer, diabetes and hypertension. People with established cardiovascular diseases shall also be managed at hospital. Provide home based palliative for chronic, debilitating and progressive patients. Health education to the patients and their attendants.
Urban health check-up scheme for diabetes and high blood pressure objectives :
Cancer component under NPCDCS Cancer is an important public health problem in India, with nealy 10 lakh new cases occurring every year in the country.
