Abstract
Addressing the double burden of disease in a country like India is a massive challenge, especially when the system is tuned to do monitoring and surveillance of mainly communicable diseases. Achieving the sustainable development goal target 3.4 to bring down the premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to one-third will need to consider the requirement of robust indicators at the national level to keep track of the prevalence of NCD and its risk factors among its population. The state of Kerala in contrast has a strong primary health care system that it can build on to address the rising NCD burden.
