Srinagar, Dec 07: In Jammu and Kashmir, over 341,071 people have been diagnosed with diabetes as of November 30, 2024, according to the NCD portal data released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

About the measures taken by the Government to address the rising diabetes cases in the country, particularly in States having higher prevalence rates, the minister said that the GoI provides technical and financial support to States and UTs under National Program for Prevention and Control of Non Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD) as part of National Health Mission (NHM).
“The program focuses on strengthening infrastructure, human resource development, early diagnosis, referral to an appropriate level of healthcare facility for treatment and management and health promotion and awareness generation for prevention of NCDs including diabetes,” the Union Minister said in the reply.
As per the written reply, under the NP-NCD, 753 District NCD Clinics and 6,410 Community Health Center NCD Clinics have been set up.
The minister in the reply said that a population-based initiative for screening, management and prevention of common NCDs including diabetes has been rolled out as a part of Comprehensive Primary Health Care in the country under NHM saying screening of common NCDs is an integral part of service delivery.

Under the free drugs initiative of NHM, the minister said essential drugs including for diabetes are provided free of cost in all public health facilities.
“AB PM-JAY aims to provide health cover of Rs. 5 lakhs per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization to approximately 55 Cr beneficiaries corresponding to 12.37 Crore families constituting the bottom 40% of India’s population,” it said.
The reply said in the latest national master of the Health Benefit Package (HBP) the scheme provides cashless healthcare services related to 1961 procedures across 27 specialties including diabetes and complications arising due to diabetes through a network of more than 29,870 hospitals empanelled in the scheme.
