New Delhi, 20 September (IANS). Nowadays the pace of life has become so fast that neither no one has time to eat, neither the worry of gold nor the care of spending two moments sitting with loved ones! People wash the fatigue of the day with cold drinks, blow the stress in cigarette rings or drink it in alcohol. Confusion of work pressure, social media races and relationships from above. As a result of this, some such diseases are entering the body, whose symptoms are not visible directly. Diseases that do not appear, but inside the body keeps on hollowing out within. These are called NCDs (non -communicable disease) i.e. non -communicable diseases.
The list of NCDs includes heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and mental stress. The latest report of the World Health Organization (WHO) gives an impression of its seriousness. The organization has said that the speed of the world has slowed down in the fight against these diseases. Meaning it is clear – Khatra is not yet averted, but is getting deeper.
The report has been prepared titled ‘Saving Lives, Speaking Less,’ i.e. ‘Save the lives, do not spend more money’. And this is the most interesting thing. It suggests that in fighting these diseases, a huge budget is not required, but a little intelligent investment is sufficient.
The report says that if every country spends only 3 dollars (ie about 250 rupees) every year on the prevention and treatment of these diseases, then by 2030, 12 million (1.2 crore) people can be saved. That is, we can say that only one life is equal to one pizza!
But the problem is that many countries have now become loose in this fight. Between 2010 and 2019, most countries had reduced the deaths due to these diseases to some extent, but now the situation is deteriorating again. In many places, the situation is getting worse than before.
The most concern is that these diseases are wreaking more havoc in poor and middle class countries. Every year about 75 percent of deaths occur in countries where treatment is expensive and lacks awareness.
The WHO also explains the reasons that increase the NCD and affect the mental health. According to this report, since our lifestyle is a mess – more junk food, low workout, lack of sleep and stressed life is the reason for this. The WHO clearly states that these companies also affect the policy makers, who do not allow the necessary laws to pass.
Dr. Tedros Adnom Ghebreesus, Director General of the World Health Organization, said, “Non-communicable disease and mental health situations are silent killers who are snatching our lives and innovation. We have the means to save and reduce life. Countries like Denmarks, South Korea and Moldova are p for this direction, while other countries are leading in this direction. Economics is not – this is the need of a rich society. “
The WHO says that if governments show some understanding and adopt the ‘Best Byz’ (good purchase) concept, the disease can be curbed. This means that tax should be increased on tobacco, children should be protected from junk food advertisements, controlling alcohol, and mental health services should be made accessible – then we can reduce this danger to a great extent.
