Resumen
Descripción
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a
set of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease,
cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes that are
on the rise in Cambodia. Meanwhile, injuries include those
due to traffic accidents, which are becoming a major source
of mortality and morbidity in Cambodia. NCDs are increasing
in Cambodia as a result of smoking, unhealthy diet, harmful
use of alcohol, and physical inactivity, all resulting in a
sharp increase in the rates of obesity and high blood
pressure. NCDs are affecting Cambodians in their productive
years. Over half men and over a third of women dying from
NCDs are younger than 60 years. The high cost of long-term
health care and medicines, along with loss of income, pushes
many Cambodian families deeper into poverty. It also
overburdens the country's health system, constraining
efforts to improve maternal and child health and tackle
infectious diseases. Because of the nature of NCDs, which
are rooted in multiple causes, strengthening the health
system alone will not reduce the burden of NCDs. Many of the
actions needed to prevent and control these diseases require
the participation of numerous ministries and government
agencies, as well as the private sector. For Cambodians to
continue enjoying the fruits of economic growth, a strong
commitment by the government, the people, and the
international community is becoming increasing important.
Improved coordination among all ministry of health (MOH)
task forces will maximize financial and human resources and
help implement priority NCDI-related interventions as part
of, and not separate from, other ongoing programs. The
application of the measures will benefit from clear
procedures for joint planning, programming, budgeting,
training, reporting, and monitoring and evaluation (M and E)
of all programs.
