Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are diseases that are not caused by bacterial infection and cannot be transmitted from one person to another. These diseases are chronic, develop slowly over a long period, and are often influenced by lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors. Examples include heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Early detection of a disease is a crucial step in disease prevention and treatment. Early detection of a disease is a crucial step in disease prevention and treatment, or a testing procedure to identify potential health problems or disorders in an individual. Conducting screening tests for healthy individuals can be beneficial for early prevention and to determine the prognosis of a disease. Screening tests are also beneficial for the wider community if the identification leads to primary and secondary prevention, detecting disease risks and preventing further impacts of disease risks. Screening activities are provided selectively, aiming to detect disease risks using specific methods. The purpose of implementing screening activities is a primary preventive measure to determine the health condition of the community.
