A non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is not caused by infectious agents (non-infectious or non-transmissible). NCDs can refer to chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly. ... NCDs are the leading cause of death globally.
An infectious disease is a disease caused by a microorganism and therefore potentially infinitely transferable to new individuals. ... A communicable disease on the other hand is an infectious disease that is contagious and which can be transmitted from one source to another by infectious bacteria or viral organisms.
