December 2024 - August 2024 | Funders: World Health Organization (WHO)

About

Integrating and managing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within primary care systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is a pressing global health challenge. As populations age and the burden of chronic NCDs rises, the role of the primary healthcare workforce becomes increasingly vital in ensuring equitable access to prevention, early detection, and appropriate treatment.

Impact

This review aimed to synthesize the existing knowledge on the role of health workers in managing NCDs in primary care settings within populations in LMICs.
