ABSTRACT
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes, account for 81% of lives lost in the Americas. An estimated 240 million adults in the Region live with at least one NCD, requiring access to continuous support, delivered through Primary Health Care. Successful implementation of NCD policies and interventions can result in significant cost savings, alleviating the economic burden on healthcare systems, individuals, and society, while effective NCD management at the Primary Health Care level reduces premature deaths and disabilities. Strengthening integration of NCDs into Primary Health Care represents a key milestone in a country’s health system response to the Sustainable Development Agenda, with the aim of leaving no-one behind.
