Module for Multi-Purpose Workers (MPW) – Female/Male on Prevention, Screening and Control of Common Non-Communicable Diseases

This training module, developed under the National Health Mission (NHM), is designed specifically for Multi-Purpose Workers (MPWs) — both female and male — serving at the grassroots level. The book provides comprehensive guidance on the prevention, early screening, and effective control of common non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.

It includes practical illustrations, step-by-step protocols, and field-level strategies tailored to rural and semi-urban healthcare settings. The module emphasizes community-level intervention, health education, referral systems, and record keeping — equipping MPWs to play a pivotal role in the national effort to combat the growing NCD burden.

This book is an essential training and reference manual for frontline health workers aiming to deliver preventive and promotive health services under the Ayushman Bharat initiative and Health & Wellness Centres framework.
