In the first module, you will be introduced to the challenges of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) in India and other low- and middle-income countries. We will examine why the prevalence of these diseases is rising and their impact on individuals, families, and healthcare systems. You will learn about the development of three central cardiometabolic conditions, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (high cholesterol), how they are related, and the complications they can lead to. You will also experience how the Christian Medical College Vellore provides healthcare to remote and underserved populations with the use of mobile clinics and close collaboration between local community health workers, nurses and doctors from the regional health centres.
