Experts Stress Gender Equity, Community Participation to Fight NCDs in India

Experts in India are saying that to fight diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, it's really important to treat everyone fairly, especially women, and to get the whole community involved.

They say that when local leaders and women help plan and monitor health programs, it makes a big difference, even in faraway places.

The government has started a big program to screen people for these diseases, and so far, they've checked millions of people.

The experts also think that using data to make decisions and making sure everyone has access to healthcare is very important.

They want to make the healthcare system better and more fair for everyone.
