Organizing and delivering High Quality Care for Chronic Non-Communicable conditions in the Americas

“Organizando y llevando una alta calidad para las condiciones de las enfermedades crónicas no trasmisibles en las Américas”

Washington, DC., 14 December (PAHO/WHO). Care for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a global problem. The vast majority of people with NCDs do not receive appropriate care. Only around half are diagnosed, and among these patients, only half are treated. Among the quarter of people with NCDs who do receive care, only half achieve the desired clinical treatment targets. Cumulatively, only around one in ten people with chronic conditions are treated successfully. This is mainly the result of inadequate management, but also of insufficient access to care and the existence of numerous financial barriers.
