Implementation of Global Monitoring Framework for NCDs in North India

"The development of the national NCD monitoring frameworks and targets was based on consultative process with the relevant stakeholders.In February 2013, a consultation was held in New Delhi with participation from major stakeholders to review the current status of NCD surveillance in India. Subsequently an advisory group on developing a national framework for monitoring the prevention and control of non-communicable disease was established which met in June 2013 in Shimla, to reach an agreement on the national NCD monitoring frame work, in consonance with the WHO global action plan and monitoring framework. The framework outlines 21 indicators and 10 targets as recommended and agreed by the advisory group." This book will reveal that, whether with this existing monitoring framework, our country (three parts of North India)can achieve the above mentioned targets and indicators for prevention and control of NCD?
