Goa [India], September 23: Cardiovascular disease kills more Indians than any other condition, accounting for nearly 30% of all deaths in the country.

The summit is structured to move beyond scientific discussion towards implementation. Each core session will conclude with recommendations distilled by its chair, and a closed-door session on the final day will consolidate these into a formal document for submission to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW).
