75 million people with hypertension, diabetes to receive standard care by 2025

New Delhi: On World Hypertension Day, celebrated on May 17, 2023, the Government unveiled the ''75/25'' initiative, which aims to provide standardized care to 75 million individuals living with hypertension and diabetes by December 2025.
As of March 5, 2025, a total of 42.01 million individuals have received treatment for hypertension, while 25.27 million have been treated for diabetes, achieving 89.7% of the target.
To address the rising prevalence of major Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, oral cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer, the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD) was initiated by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, in 2010.

The program employs a multifaceted strategy that includes:
Population-Based Screening: Early detection and screening of individuals aged 30 years and above.
Opportunistic Screening: Implementing screening at all levels of healthcare delivery.
Support for Diagnosis and Treatment: Providing assistance for accurate diagnosis and cost-effective treatment options.
Teleconsultation Services: Utilizing information technology to offer teleconsultation services to citizens.
National NCD Portal: Monitoring NCDs through the use of a dedicated portal.
Awareness and Lifestyle Promotion: Coordinating inter-ministerial efforts to promote NCD awareness and encourage healthy lifestyle choices.
In response to the increasing burden of NCDs, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has launched an NCD Screening Campaign from February 20, 2025, to March 31, 2025, with the goal of achieving 100% screening of individuals aged 30 years and above. This nationwide campaign is being conducted across Ayushman Arogya Mandir facilities and other healthcare institutions under the NP-NCD framework.
Monitoring of this initiative involves systematic data collection, performance management, and data quality assurance. Monthly reports from States and Union Territories are compiled and analyzed at the national level, with periodic feedback provided to the States. Additionally, program reports generated from the National NCD Portal dashboard are analyzed at the Centre, State, and District levels as part of a structured monitoring framework, ensuring effective oversight and continuous improvement of the program.
The Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Shri Prataprao Jadhav stated this in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha.
