Pakistan is facing a significant health crisis with the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and chronic lung diseases. These conditions account for around 65% of premature deaths in the country, with more than 31 million individuals living with diabetes and an additional 10 million pre-diabetic. Hypertension affects approximately 42 million people, and obesity rates are climbing, particularly among the younger generation. However, this growing epidemic is preventable. Join us for a discussion where we will explore how dietary modifications, lifestyle changes and robust food policies can curb the prevalence of NCDs. Discover the critical role of effective food governance in promoting public health and creating a healthier future for Pakistan.
