Did you know that noncommunicable diseases are the leading cause of death globally, responsible for nearly 71% of all deaths? Today, we will be delving into a case study that sheds light on the real-world challenges of tackling these chronic conditions. NCDs are not only a major global health concern but also have social, economic, and environmental implications.
I’m providing you with a link to the WHO case studies. This page will include several case studies related to NCDs in specific areas across the globe. I would like you to pick one to focus on. You do not have to focus on finding one that is under the topic of Acting on NCDs in primary health care (PHC) and universal health coverage (UHC), you can choose anything on this page. This includes acting on NCDs, improving cancer outcomes, providing better health care for people living with diabetes, diagnosing, treatment, and managing hypertension, oral health, supporting people living with NCDs in health emergencies, or integrating disability and rehabilitation in health systems. Through this case study, we aim to understand the risk factors associated with NCDs, explore the strategies used for prevention and management, and examine the role of various stakeholders in addressing the challenges posed by noncommunicable disease. These case studies are real-life scenarios and challenges faced by communities and healthcare systems. You will be required to analyze the information critically, draw insights, and propose potential solutions.
