Facility survey, in-depth interviews with Medical providers and Patients seeking medical consultation for NCDs such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma was carried out in two districts, Bhandara and Nandurbar in a collaborative research study. The study identified inequalities and gaps in delivery of NCD services (specifically diabetes, hypertension, and possibly also asthma), including for highly vulnerable populations, where state and district health departments may place emphasis to improve services. 45 service providers across selected 68 facilities from all levels, and 200 patients seeking medical consultation for NCDs such as diabetes, hypertension and asthma across the sampled DHCs, CHCs and PHCs were interviewed.
