COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Illness can range from asymptomatic or mild infection to pneumonia, severe respiratory disease and critical illness.

Cervical cancer is cancer that develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) causes almost all cervical cancers.

Colorectal cancer is cancer that begins in the colon or rectum. It often develops from a growth called a polyp, some of which can become cancer over time.

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to meet the body's needs.

Malignant epithelial transformation of mammary ducts, representing the most prevalent female cancer in India.

Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough iron to produce adequate hemoglobin, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen.

Kidney cancer is a cancer that begins in the cells of the kidney. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults.

Kidney stones are hard, pebble-like deposits that form in the kidneys when certain minerals and salts become concentrated in urine. A small stone may pass without symptoms, while a larger stone can cause severe pain, bleeding, urinary blockage or infection.

Leukemia is a group of cancers that begin in blood-forming tissues, causing abnormal blood cells to grow and interfere with normal blood-cell production.

Liver cancer is cancer that begins in the liver. The main types of primary adult liver cancer are hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic bile duct cancer.

Lung cancer is a cancer that begins in the tissues of one or both lungs. The two major types are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Lymphoma is a group of cancers that begins in cells of the lymphatic system. The two major categories are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which contain many different subtypes.

Malaria is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted mainly through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.

Melanoma is a cancer that develops from melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells of the skin. It can arise on different skin sites and can spread to lymph nodes or distant organs if not detected and treated early.

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent attacks that may cause moderate to severe headache, often with nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Some people experience aura before or during an attack.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system in which abnormal immune activity damages myelin and nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder in which the upper airway repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep.

Oral cavity cancer is a malignant tumor arising in the tissues of the mouth. Most oral cavity cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and can involve the lips, tongue, gums, inner cheeks, floor of the mouth or other oral structures.

Osteoarthritis is a joint disorder in which joint tissues gradually change and can cause pain, stiffness and reduced movement.

Ovarian cancer is a group of cancers that can arise in the ovaries and related tissues of the female reproductive system. Ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancers can have similar biology and treatment.

Early disease may cause few or no symptoms, while later disease may cause jaundice, abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss and appetite loss.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous-system disorder that affects movement and can also cause non-movement symptoms.

A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or duodenum.

PCOS is a hormonal and metabolic condition associated with irregular ovulation, higher androgen activity and characteristic ovarian findings in some people.

Prostate cancer is cancer that forms in the tissues of the prostate gland. It is more common with increasing age and may grow slowly in many men.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease that causes inflamed, scaly skin and may also affect nails and joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects joints but can also affect organs outside the joints.

Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a malignant tumor that develops in the lining of the stomach. Most stomach cancers are adenocarcinomas. Symptoms may be absent early and can later include indigestion, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, weight loss, anemia or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Stroke is a medical emergency in which blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted or a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing brain injury.

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor arising from cells of the thyroid gland. The main types are papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic thyroid cancer. Many thyroid cancers are highly treatable, especially when detected early, although anaplastic thyroid cancer can be aggressive.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, most often affecting the lungs but capable of affecting other organs.

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, causing blood glucose to rise.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition in which the body becomes resistant to insulin and, over time, may not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose.
