Abstract

The surge in non-communicable diseases has almost gone unnoticed for quite a while because non-communicable diseases were not even included in the initial health development agenda, specifically the Millennium Development Goals. Given the limited capacity in many low- and middle-income countries, this surge in non-communicable diseases becomes an even huge challenge for these countries to deal with as most of them are still ill-prepared. The costly and prolonged treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases and the fact that women are the most severely affected in the context of both communicable and non-communicable diseases raises the equity problem between and within countries. Prevention of con-communicable diseases is often undermined by rapid urbanisation and globalisation.
