Abstract
Introduction: Program Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) are important components of any program and are critical to sound strategic planning. NCDs are the leading causes of Morbidity and mortality. This research was aimed as evaluation of NPCDCS in Gandhinagar district. Method: Data were collected in form of reports and records from all centers (NCD cell, NCD cell clinic, CHC clinics) under NPCDCS in Gandhinagar district. Secondary data analysis was conducted for the financial year of 2015-2016. Results: At district level NCD cell, all the sanctioned post were filled. However, overall in the district 60.7% posts were vacant. Infrastructure at all levels of NPCDCS were adequately present. In financial year of 2015-16, total of 257 screening camps were organized. Total of 90399 people were screened during the camps and in OPD. Prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in Gandhinagar district in year 2015-16 were 9.9% and 9.1% respectively as per NPCDCS programme. Compliance among hypertensive patients was 72% and among diabetic was 70%. Conclusion: Human resources are adequately available at district level, but they are grossly lacking at sub-district level, which is the reason for poor outreach activities and OPD activities at sub- district level. NPCDCS program must ensure that benefit to the diagnosed patients should be available close to their home and also to ensure minimum drop out of put on treatment.
