Improving responsiveness of health systems to non-communicable diseases

摘要

In almost all countries, development of health systems that are responsive to the challenge of prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a priority. NCDs consist of a vast group of conditions, but in terms of premature mortality, emphasis has been on cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases-diseases that were also the focus of the UN high-level meeting on NCDs, held in 2011.
