Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are emerging as one of the biggest health challenges for India—and they are no longer limited to adults. In this episode of Healthwise by Tarang, we focus on how NCDs such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and respiratory illnesses are increasingly affecting children and young people, shaping the future health of the nation.
We are joined by Dr Rahul Mehra, Executive Chairman of Tarang Health Alliance and Indian Health Alliance, and National Representative of India for the UNESCO Chair for Global Health & Education. The discussion covers what NCDs are, their current status in India, why every Indian should be concerned, the key reasons behind their rising numbers, and practical solutions to build a healthier next generation.
This episode offers valuable insights for parents, educators, policymakers, and anyone concerned about India’s health future.
