Resumen
Descripción
This book looks primarily at Cardio
Vascular Disease (CVD) and tobacco use because they account
for a disproportionate amount of the Non Communicable
Disease (NCD) burden the focus is strategic rather than
comprehensive. It considers both country and regional level
approaches for tackling NCDs, as many of the issues and
challenges of mounting an effective response are common to
most South Asian countries. The prevention and control of
NCDs constitute a development issue that low-income
countries in South Asia are already facing. Both country and
regional-level strategies are important because many of the
issues and challenges of mounting an effective response to
NCDs are common to most South Asian countries, even though
their disease burden profiles vary. Hence, the rationale for
this book is that strategic decisions for prevention and
treatment of NCDs can effectively address the future burden
of disease, promote healthy aging, and increase the
potential benefit from the demographic transition, thus
contributing to economic development. This book's goal
is to encourage countries to develop, adopt, and implement
effective and timely country and regional responses that
reduce the population-level risk factors and NCD disease burden.
