Track 24: Non Communicable Disease
Introduction
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, are medical conditions or health problems that are non-infectious and non-transmissible. These diseases typically have a prolonged duration and tend to progress slowly. Some of the most common examples of NCDs include cardiovascular diseases (such as heart disease and stroke), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma), diabetes, obesity, and mental health disorders.
Efforts to address NCDs
NCDs are often linked to lifestyle factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and environmental factors. These diseases are a significant global health concern, contributing to a substantial burden of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs worldwide.
Efforts to address NCDs typically involve a combination of prevention strategies, early detection, management, and treatment. Public health initiatives often focus on promoting healthy behaviors, raising awareness about risk factors, improving access to healthcare services, and implementing policies aimed at reducing the prevalence of NCDs.
Community Engagement
Given the complex nature of NCDs and their multifactorial causes, a comprehensive approach involving collaboration between governments, healthcare providers, communities, and individuals is essential for effectively addressing and mitigating the impact of these diseases.
Reaching Beyond Borders
Global health is concerned with transnational health challenges and determinants, which affect numerous countries. Infectious diseases that spread across borders, as well as noncommunicable diseases and ailments that affect large populations around the world, are examples of health challenges that cross boundaries. Climate change and pollution are public health issues that affect everyone, particularly the poor and vulnerable.
Promoting Healthy Lifestyles:
Encouraging individuals to adopt healthy habits such as regular physical activity, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, avoiding tobacco use, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing stress effectively.
Health Education and Awareness: Providing education and raising awareness about the risk factors and consequences of NCDs through public health campaigns, community outreach programs, and school-based initiatives.
Building Partnerships
Global health solutions cannot be achieved by any single industry or institution. Because the problems are so complicated, coalitions that bring together different viewpoints, organisations, and abilities are required. We are more likely to develop realistic and long-term solutions if we build partnerships that exchange information and capabilities among countries and stakeholders, especially those most affected by these problems.
