Overview
The Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, DoHS publishes a Guideline for Nationwide NCD Detection Campaign 2081. This campaign aims to conduct a month-long initiative to enhance early detection and prevention efforts for major NCDs, including diabetes, hypertension, kidney-related diseases, and body mass index (BMI) monitoring.
