In this episode of NCDs Matter: Decoding India's Silent Epidemic, we speak about one of the commonest diseases in India, hypertension. Nearly 20 crore people in India have hypertension.
In this episode, we speak with Dr Prabhdeep Kaur who was the technical lead of the India Hypertension Control Initiative, which was launched to strengthen the hypertension component of the National NCD programme at the primary health care level. We also get the perspective of someone directly affected, through Kalaiselvam, from Tiruvallur in Tamil Nadu.
This podcast is produced by REACH India, an India-based non- profit that works towards providing holistic care to people living with tuberculosis and non communicable diseases or NCDs.
