National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) in India, which is being implemented under the National Health Mission, is being expanded to include new diseases and initiatives such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, and STEMI. 

To reflect this expansion, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has decided to rename NPCDCS as "National Programme for Prevention & Control of Non-Communicable Diseases" (NP-NCD). 

Additionally, the Comprehensive Primary Healthcare - Non-Communicable disease (CPHC NCD) IT system, which enables screening and management of NCDs, will now be called the "National NCD Portal".  

This comes in a letter by the Joint Secretary, MoHFW, dated 03.05.2023 which also advises State Governments and Union Territories to use these new names in all future references and correspondences with the Government of India.
