As Apollo Hospitals unveiled the fourth edition of its flagship Health of Nation Report on World Health Day 2024, the findings shed light on a sobering reality: India is facing an unprecedented surge in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Among these, cancer stands out as a particularly concerning issue, with India experiencing the fastest rise in cancer cases globally. The report also highlights alarming statistics: one in three Indians are prediabetic, two in three are pre-hypertensive, and one in ten suffer from depression.
The emergence of the Nudge Effect marks a pivotal strategy in India's battle against NCDs, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures and early interventions. With the prevalence of obesity on the rise and becoming a common risk factor for chronic NCDs, proactive steps are imperative to address this health crisis.
