The WHO said that the top cause of deaths in India is Ischemic heart disease.
Heart and lung diseases are the top killers in the country, Health Minister JP Nadda informed the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday.
According to WHO, the top ten causes of death in India are Ischemic heart disease (12.4%), chronic obstructive lung disease (10.8%), stroke (9%), diarrhoeal diseases (6%), lower respiratory tract infections (4.5%), preterm birth complications (3.9%), tuberculosis (2.7%), self-harm (2.6%), falls (2.6%) and road injury (2.4%), Nadda said in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.
"While some of these can be diagnosed at early stages and treated by qualified and trained MBBS doctors, diseases such as cancer, stroke, etc. require services of specialists with postgraduate qualifications," the Minister said.
