Mental health challenges and nutritional issues coexist with rising NCDs, underscoring complex health burdens. Innovations like parametric insurance and technology-driven early diagnosis aim to improve resilience and care. However, gaps remain in prevention, equitable access, and support for vulnerable populations and sectors.
