We’re delighted to share that we recently met to review progress on the STAR-NCD project, an ICMR National Health Research Priority initiative in Tripura, with discussions focused on implementing Model 2 across the district. The meeting included ICMR representatives, CCDC and the AIIMS team to review implementation progress, strengthen medical college engagement, and explore sustainable approaches for NCD care delivery. Key areas of focus included strengthening hub-and-spoke systems for laboratory testing and telemedicine, capacity building, follow-up and disease control, monitoring mechanisms, and long-term sustainability. The discussions reaffirmed the shared commitment to strengthening the NCD care cascade and improving access to quality care and health outcomes across rural Tripura. #STARNCD #NCDCare #Tripura #ICMR #CCDC
