NEW DELHI: The health ministry has chalked out an overarching National Multi-Sectoral Action Plan with the aim to reduce premature deaths from cancer, diabetes and heart diseases by 25% in the next 10 years (by 2025). The plan, which includes initiatives and measures from at least 27 government departments including ministries like environment, women and child development, urban development, industries etc, is in the final stage and will soon be drafted into a policy statement, a senior official said.

The idea is to tackle rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which account for 55% of the premature mortality in the age group of 30-69 years, which represents the economically productive segment of the population. Government estimates show diseases like cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases account for a socio-economic loss of 2-8% of GDP.
