Global Scenario
• Non-communicable diseases are a major public
health problem in Nepal accounting for around 60%
of the total annual deaths in 2014 (WHO).
• The Package of Essential Non-communicable
Diseases (PEN) has been introduced to screen,
diagnose, treat and refer Cardio Vascular Diseases,
COPD, cancer, diabetes, and mental health at health
posts, primary health care centers and district
hospitals for early detection and management of
chronic diseases within the community

Global Scenario
• Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are emerging
as the leading cause of death globally and also in
the South East Asia region due to many social
determinants like unhealthy lifestyles, globalization,
trade and marketing, demographic and economic
transitions.
• The change in the status of these determinants has
affected behavioral and metabolic risk factors of the
general population to the NCDs.

•Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), Chronic non-infectious
respiratory diseases (like COPD), Cancers and Diabetes
Mellitus are referred as essential non-communicable disease
with well-established common modifiable risk factors.
•Oral health, Mental Health and Road traffic Injuries are other
NCDs in Nepal that has been growing at an alarming rate
posing as major threats to public health.

National
•Behaviors like tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol,
intake of high proportion of unhealthy diet like -
consuming less fruits and vegetables, high salt and trans-
fat consumption, and physical inactivity are the common
modifiable risk factors of NCDs while overweight and
obesity, raised blood pressure, raised blood glucose and
abnormal blood lipids are the metabolic risk factors.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 13
National
•Such behaviors are determined by social structures,
economic disparities, and market forces that entice the
people into buying and consuming unhealthy products
such as ultra-processed foods and drinks, among other
examples.
•Indoor air pollution is another important modifiable
behavioral risk factor for the region and the country.

Risk Factors
Modifiable
•Refer to characteristics that societies or individuals can change to
improve health outcomes. Modifiable behaviors, such as tobacco use,
physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and the harmful use of alcohol, all
increase the risk of NCDs.
Tobacco accounts for over 8 million deaths every year (including
from the effects of exposure to second-hand smoke).
1.8 million annual deaths have been attributed to excess salt/sodium
intake.
More than half of the 3 million annual deaths attributable to alcohol
use are from NCDs, including cancer.
830 000 deaths annually can be attributed to insufficient physical
activity.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 20
Metabolic
Contribute to four key metabolic changes that increase the risk of
NCDs:
raised blood pressure;
overweight/obesity;
hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels); and
hyperlipidemia (high levels of fat in the blood).
In terms of attributable deaths, the leading metabolic risk factor globally
is elevated blood pressure (to which 19% of global deaths are
attributed), followed by raised blood glucose and overweight and
obesity.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 21
Environmental
•Several environmental risk factors contribute to NCDs.
•Air pollution is the largest of these, accounting for 6.7 million
deaths globally, of which about 5.7 million are due to NCDs,
including stroke, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, and lung cancer.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 22
Nonmodifiable
•Non- modifiable risk factors refer to characteristics that
cannot be changed by an individual (or the environment) and
include, age, sex and genetic make-up.
•Although, they cannot be the primary targets of interventions,
they remain important factors since they affect and partly
determine the effectiveness of many prevention and treatment
approaches.

Socio-economic
impact
Socioeconomic impact
• NCDs threaten progress towards the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development, which includes a target of
reducing the probability of death from any of the four main
NCDs between ages 30 and 70 years by one third by 2030.
• Poverty is closely linked with NCDs. The rapid rise in NCDs
is predicted to impede poverty reduction initiatives in low-
income countries, particularly by increasing household costs
associated with health care.

WHO Response
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
recognizes NCDs as a major challenge for sustainable
development.
As part of the agenda, heads of state and government
committed to develop ambitious national responses,
by 2030, to reduce by one third premature mortality
from NCDs through prevention and treatment (SDG
target 3.4).
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 27
WHO Response
•In 2019, the World Health Assembly extended the
WHO Global action plan for the prevention and control
of NCDs 2013–2020 to 2030 and called for the
development of an Implementation Roadmap 2023 to
2030 to accelerate progress on preventing and
controlling NCDs.
•The roadmap supports actions to achieve a set of nine
global targets with the greatest impact towards
prevention and management of NCDs.

08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 33
Treatment Goal
For most patients, blood pressure is considered
controlled when SBP
• < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg.
However, for patients with diabetes or a high risk of
CVD, certain
• guidelines recommend lower targets:
• SBP < 130 mmHg and DBP < 80 mmHg.

Nonpharmacologic
management
• Lifestyle counselling (on healthy diet, physical
activity, the harms of tobacco use, and harmful use of
alcohol) is a critical component of good hypertension
management and is often recommended pressure of
SBP 130–139 mmHg and /or DBP 80–89 mmHg

DIABETES
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 42
Introduction
• Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease
characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose
(or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious
damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys,
and nerves.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 43
TREATMENT OPTIONS
• A healthy diet to achieve or maintain normal body weight and
regular physical activity are the mainstay of diabetes management.
All patients should be advised on avoidance of tobacco use and
harmful use of alcohol.
• Management of risk factors and referral as appropriate.
• Oral hypoglycaemic agents for type 2 diabetes, if glycaemic.
• Other classes of antihyperglycaemic agents, added to metformin.
• if glycemic targets are not met.
• Statins are recommended for all people with type 2 diabetes older
than 40 years, but only if this does not negatively impact access to
glucose-lowering and blood pressure lowering medication.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 44
PREVENTION OF
COMPLICATIONS
• FOOT COMPLICATIONS
• Regular (3–6 months) visual inspection and examination
of patients’ feet by trained personnel for the detection of
risk factors for ulceration (assessment of foot sensation,
palpation of foot pulses, inspection for any foot deformity,
inspection of footwear).
• PREVENTION OF ONSET AND PROGRESSION
OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE:
• Optimal glycaemic control
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor for persistent
albuminuria

Diagnose
• Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) is the most practical test for
low-resource settings, given its low cost. HbA1c can also be
used, but is more costly.
• Plasma glucose 2 hours after a 75 g oral glucose load
(OGTT) can also be used to screen for and diagnose
diabetes, but is less practical and more costly.
• If patient is not fasting and has symptoms, a random
plasma glucose (RPG) test can also be performed. It is the
least accurate of the diagnostic with symptoms; however, a
negative test does not rule out the diagnosis of diabetes .

Pharmacological
Patients may require two or three medicines.
• Although there are other medicine classes usually
• used as second- and third-line treatment, including
• thiazolidinediones (TZDs), DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2
• inhibitors, and GLP-1 receptor agonists, these medicines

• NOTE: Hypertension treatment is indicated when SBP people
with type 2 diabetes older than 40 years, but only if this does not
negatively impact access to glucose- lowering and blood pressure-
lowering medication.
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 54
Non-Pharmacological
Patients should receive counselling and support on
lifestyle change including diet, physical activity and
smoking cessation at the time of diagnosis, then
annually and whenever changes in treatment occur.
Group education is less effective and less costly than
individual programs.

National strategic planning
GoN has prioritized NCDs and has strategic planning
based on National Multi-sectoral Action Plan II (MSAP
II) for NCDs (2021-2025).
The goal of MSAP II is to reduce burden of NCDs
through “whole of government” and “whole of society”
approach.
The overarching target is to reduce premature death from
major NCDs by 25% by 2025 and by one third by
2086/87 (2030).
08/09/2025 06:29 PM By Sudha Poudel 86
Specific Objectives
1. To raise priority accorded to the prevention and control of NCDs in the national
agenda, policies and programs.
2. To strengthen national capacity and governance to lead multi-sectoral action
and partnership across sectors for the prevention and control of NCDs.
3. To reduce risk factors for NCDs and address underlying social determinants
across sectors.
4. To strengthen health systems through provision of people-centric,
comprehensive, integrated, and equitable care for improved prevention and
control of NCDs.
5. To establish NCD surveillance, monitoring and evaluation system for evidence-
based policies and programs.
