• Communicable diseases

These diseases are spread by pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, and can be transmitted through water, air, or other means. Examples include tuberculosis, measles, HIV, hepatitis A, B, and C, salmonella, and blood-borne illnesses. 

• Non-communicable diseases

These diseases are not typically spread from person to person and are often chronic in nature. Examples include cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, chronic kidney diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and asthma. NCDs can be caused by allergies, malnutrition, lifestyle changes, environmental changes, and other factors. 

Both types of diseases can have a significant impact on individual and public health and can lead to high economic and social costs. In India, NCDs are the leading cause of death, accounting for around 60% of all deaths.
