Karnataka's door-to-door screening uncovers varied non-communicable disease burden across districts

Karnataka's health screening program revealed significant district-wise variations in non-communicable disease prevalence. The Gruha Arogya initiative screened over 41 lakh households for 14 NCDs, with hypertension and diabetes being most common. Belagavi reported the highest absolute numbers for hypertension and diabetes. The findings emphasize the need for targeted public health strategies, as NCDs are widespread across districts, including rural areas.
