Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and infections are interconnected in numerous ways, often influencing the progression and outcomes of both. Individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or cancer are more susceptible to infections due to weakened immune systems. Conversely, infections can exacerbate the severity of NCDs, leading to complications that make disease management more challenging. In the context of non-communicable diseases and infections, it is essential for healthcare systems to adopt an integrated approach that addresses both chronic and infectious conditions simultaneously. Preventive measures such as vaccinations and managing risk factors for both NCDs and infections can help reduce the burden of these diseases, leading to better overall health outcomes.
