Non-Communicable diseases are the rising cause of morbidity and untimely mortality worldwide. More than 75% of the disease burden occur in low- and middle-income countries. It encompasses a vast group of disease such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases. It contributes about 38 million deaths globally and about 5.67 million deaths in India (W.H.O. 2014). According to the study of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) the percentage of deaths caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India have increased from 37% in 1990 to 61 % in 2016. It results in high health care demand and rising burden in terms of health care expenditure. The main risk factors contributing to NCDs involve self-management, genetic factors, environmental factors, medical conditions and socio-demographic factors. The financial and social burden of NCDs is immense and the financial investment to alleviate this burden on patients, families and caregivers is comparatively small (ncdalliance.org). There is a strong and urgent imperative for investment in NCDs management. The objective of study is to examine the disease burden in terms of high out of pocket health expenditure and total health expenditure. It also aims to determine the trends of non-communicable diseases in India. The paper attempt to investigate the regional disparity in NCD prevalence rate, gaps in healthcare infrastructure to combat the diseases, study and analyse the trends of health care cost due to NCDs. It highlights the need for interventions and approaches for the preventions of risk factors of non-communicable diseases in India. The study is descriptive and based on secondary data analysis.
