India is grappling with increasing neurological disease burden
Hindustan TimesNeurological diseases and mental disorders have become major public health crises and are emerging as major challenges to health care systems globally. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2019 published recently in Lancet Global Health, non-communicable and injury-related neurological disorders in India have more than doubled in the last three decades, with substantial state-level variations. Stroke, a major neurological disorder, occurs among younger people in India compared to the West, contributing to 37.9% of the total neurological disease burden in India. Unless preparation, planning, and urgent steps for treatment and long-term care of an increasing population of neurologically affected people are instituted, this grim situation will greatly strain India’s health care system in the coming years.
