Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) Screening & Awareness in Delhi
Non-communicable diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic respiratory conditions, and certain cancers often build silently. In underserved communities, people may not get screened early, so issues are discovered late. Eduquest runs an NCD initiative alongside our doorstep healthcare work to support screening, awareness, counselling, and referrals when needed.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are long-term health conditions that do not spread from person to person. They are influenced by a mix of factors, genetics, environment, and everyday habits.
Common examples include:
• Cardiovascular conditions (high blood pressure, heart-related risks)
• Diabetes
• Chronic respiratory conditions (e.g., COPD)
• Certain cancers
Why this matters: NCDs often show no obvious symptoms early on, which is why screening and awareness can be life-changing.
Why Eduquest Focuses on NCDs
In many JJ clusters, resettlement colonies, and nearby rural areas, people deal with barriers like time, cost, and lack of clear guidance about when and where to seek care. As a result, screening is delayed and awareness is limited.
Eduquest’s NCD initiative is designed to make prevention practical by taking basic screening and awareness closer to communities, and encouraging timely follow-up.
Simple process, community-first execution
Healthcare Collaboration for Screening Support
To strengthen screening access, Eduquest has collaborated with Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre to facilitate awareness and screening support for community beneficiaries, alongside our broader health outreach work.
Example from program notes: during one screening activity in 2019, several cases required follow-up evaluation at the partner facility, highlighting why community screening and timely referrals matter.
Screening, Awareness, Monitoring, and Referral
The initiative supports screening for:
• Diabetes (blood sugar checks)
• Hypertension (blood pressure checks)
• Chronic respiratory conditions (awareness + basic assessment guidance)
• Cancer awareness and periodic screening support through institutional collaboration
Where appropriate, we also provide:
• counselling and preventive awareness
• guidance on healthy routines and risk reduction
• monitoring support for individuals who need repeat checks
• referrals to suitable facilities when higher-level care is required
CSR Partnerships for NCD Screening & Prevention
If your organization is looking for visible, measurable health impact in communities, this program is a strong CSR fit because outcomes can be tracked through sessions, screenings, attendance, and follow-ups.
CSR partnership options:
- Sponsor community screening days (BP + blood sugar + awareness)
- Sponsor awareness campaigns (nutrition, routine-building, risk reduction)
- Support referral enablement and follow-up coordination
- Sponsor program documentation and reporting (photos, metrics, periodic updates)
What CSR partners receive:
- execution plan + calendar
- documentation (photos and activity summaries)
- periodic reporting with reach and screening metrics
- visibility opportunities where appropriate
We track outcomes in terms of:
1. Number of screening sessions conducted
2. Number of beneficiaries screened (BP, blood sugar, etc.)
3. Counselling/awareness participation
4. Follow-up guidance and referral counts (where applicable)
Impact
Eduquest’s education support is part of our broader community interventions across Rohini and North/North-West Delhi. We track program reach through attendance, sessions conducted, and community participation, especially in partnership-led initiatives.

Frequently asked questions
What are non-communicable diseases (NCDs)?
NCDs are long-term health conditions that do not spread between people. Examples include diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic respiratory conditions, and certain cancers.
What are examples of communicable vs non-communicable diseases?
Communicable diseases are caused by infections and can spread (like flu, dengue, tuberculosis). NCDs do not spread person-to-person (like diabetes or hypertension).
What does Eduquest do for NCD prevention in Delhi?
Eduquest supports community screening, awareness, counselling, and referrals where needed—so people can identify risks earlier and take timely action.
Why are screenings important for NCDs?
Many NCDs can remain unnoticed in early stages. Screening helps detect risk indicators earlier and encourages follow-up steps.
Can companies partner with Eduquest for CSR health initiatives?
Yes. Eduquest partners with CSR teams for structured programs with documentation and reporting.
Where does Eduquest run this program?
The initiative is designed for underserved communities across Delhi, aligned with Eduquest’s outreach footprint (including doorstep healthcare coverage areas).
