India's burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is escalating rapidly. NCDs typically present in individuals aged 55 years or older in many developed countries, but their onset occurs in India a decade earlier (≥45 years of age). Exacerbating this problem are the issues of multiple chronic conditions and the fact many remain undiagnosed due to lack of awareness and insufficient health-care access.
