The burden of various diseases has been draining India’s economy in recent decades since the country harbours over 1.3 billion people. Diabetes is a lifestyle-related non-communicable disease, and it has become an epidemic in India affecting over 150 million people. The Government of India spends USD 10 billion per year to confront diabetes, but is unable to contain the outburst. This note analyses the existing facts on diabetes control measures adopted by the Government. It also provides future implementation strategies to be coordinated by various State and Central Government agencies in cooperation with private healthcare firms and non-government organizations to control the upsurge of diabetes in the near future.

Abstract


The burden of various diseases has been draining India’s economy in recent decades since the country harbours over 1.3 billion people. Diabetes is a lifestyle-related non-communicable disease, and it has become an epidemic in India affecting over 150 million people. The Government of India spends USD 10 billion per year to confront diabetes, but is unable to contain the outburst. This note analyses the existing facts on diabetes control measures adopted by the Government. It also provides future implementation strategies to be coordinated by various State and Central Government agencies in cooperation with private healthcare firms and non-government organizations to control the upsurge of diabetes in the near future.
