The risk of early death due to diabetes is increasing, as it is linked to obesity, hypertension, heart disease and stroke. In India, 80 million people suffer from diabetes, and half of them remain undiagnosed. Cancer is another rising menace with 1 in 9 people likely to develop it in their lifetime. Additionally, polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), infertility, thyroid disorders and STDs have become major threats to public health in India. PCOD affects 1 in 5 adolescent girls, whereas 1 in 6 couples suffer from infertility. Nearly 42 million Indians are affected by thyroid disorders, with one-third of them unaware of their condition; 35 million cases of STDs occur in India every year.
