dc.description.abstract | [Introduction]. Care for persons with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, is a major health priority for most countries
worldwide, particularly for low-middle income countries where
the problem seems to be worsening. Globally,
research demonstrates that the vast majority
of people with NCDs receive suboptimal care.
Many people living with chronic conditions remain
undiagnosed and unaware of their condition, while
many others remain untreated or with inadequate
control.1 Meanwhile the premature mortality
caused by NCDs remains high in many countries.2
In response to the global epidemic of NCDs, the
World Health Organization (WHO) launched the
Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of
Noncommunicable Diseases in 2012, which establishes
9 voluntary global targets and indicators
to be considered by Member States when formulating
national plans to combat NCDs.1
The Pan American Health Organization’s (PAHO’s)
Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable
Diseases, ratifi ed by the Directing
Council in 2012, recommends the reorientation of
health systems based on core principles of the integrated
management of chronic diseases. These include providing training and capacity-building, as well as paying
special attention to the integration of NCD prevention and
control in the fi rst-level of health care... | en_US |
