India
is witnessing a ‘health transition with infectious
diseases declining due to immunization and control programmes
and chronic non-communicable disease (NCD) increasing due
to increasing life expectancy, life style changes and urbanization.
Changes in how medical care for chronic care diseases is
financed, managed and delivered are necessary to prevent
development of acute episodes of illness and this is the
space where the Chronic Care Foundation endeavours to step
in and make a sustainable difference.

To
promote good health by proactively minimizing the incidence
and effects of chronic disease in society.
