NCDs of Interest..
• Heart
• HTN
• Diabetes
• CVD
• Cancer (Breast)
• Dyslipidemia
• Obesity ?!
H.I. GHOSH3
Targeted Diseases• High prevalence
• An increasing morbidity and mortality burden
• An increasing economic, social, and psychological burden
• Early detection improves prognosis
• Public awareness is crucial for prevention
• Comprehensive management is generally absent
H.I. GHOSH4
How High is the Risk ?
• After the age of 35 years:– 1 out of six may develop diabetes– 1 out of 3 may develop hypertension– 1 out of 2 have dyslipidemia– 2 out of 3 are overweight – 2 out of 5 are obese– 1 adult male out of 3 is a smoker

NCDs in LD Countries
• In LD countries –like Palestine- that experience the double burden of diseases, NCDs contributed to more than half of total mortality and 40% of total disease burden
• The large burden of NCDs in these countries is characterized both by the increased incidence of diseases and the relatively early age at which they appear
• NCDs also contribute largely to disability in both the developed and developing countries.

NCDs in Palestine
H.I. GHOSH9
Current Status
• Demographic and Epidemiological Transition
• Progressive UrbanizationCaloric Excess Less Physical ActivityIncreased Tobacco ConsumptionPredominance of Overweight and ObesityQualitatively Poor Diet
H.I. GHOSH10
Demographic & Epidemiological Transition
• Better control of communicable diseases
• Relative increase ageing of populations
• Decrease in IMR
• Socio-economic transformation
H.I. GHOSH11
Demographic Characteristics
• Number of people in WBG is 3,117,290– WB: 1,992,105– Gaza: 1,125,185
• Children under the age of 15years comprises 47% of the population
• Those under 30 years old comprise 70%
• The proportion of elderly (65years and older) is 3.3% (PCBS: 2000)

Risk Factors
Modifiable: Caloric excess-
obesity Diet Physical inactivity Smoking
Non- modifiable: Age Gender Ethnic group Family history Personal history
STRESS
H.I. GHOSH14
Nutrition
• Traditional nutrition– High fibers, whole
grains– Less animal fat– More complex
carbohydrate
• Modern diet”:– Less fibers ,refined
grains– More animal fat– More simple sugar
H.I. GHOSH15
Qualitatively Poor Diet
• High-fat (cholesterol )• Unsaturated fatty acids • Rapidly absorbed carbohydrates • Fiber• Salt• Vitamins

Duality of Health Problems
• Modern diseases
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Hypertension
- Coronary heart diseases
- Cancer.
• Diseases of underdevelopment
- Infectious diseases
- Malnutrition
- Poor housing conditions

Diabetes Mellitus
• Diabetes is more prevalent than in Europe and North America
• It is estimated that the prevalence in the population aged 20years and above is more than 10%
• Our data showed a prevalence of 19% for people of 35years and above
H.I. GHOSH21
Cancer
• Rare published reports
• It is becoming a major public health concern
• The second reported cause of death after CVDs– The most common: Breast in females and
lung in smoking males

PMRS CHRONIC DISEASES
PROGRAMME
“ A CALL FOR ACTION”
H.I. GHOSH24
A Different Approach
• A comprehensive approach in the management of diseases:
• Prevention– Life style modification– Health promotion
• Early detection• Proper treatment
• Train and support management at PHC level
• Establish a good referral system
H.I. GHOSH25
Implementation
• The goals are to be met through different activities at:– The Chronic Disease Center– The Mobile Clinic– PMRS health centers
H.I. GHOSH26
Components
Prevention, Early DetectionAnd
Health Promotion
Surveillance, Data Collection,
And Research Proper Management
H.I. GHOSH27
Activities
• Activities include:– Training– Screening– Health Education– Early diagnosis – Proper Management– Data collection & Research– Coordination and cooperation– Advocacy & Lobbying
H.I. GHOSH28
Screening
• Every male and female over 35 years:– Glucose level in blood– Lipid profile– Blood pressure– Body Mass Index
• Every female over 25 years:– Breast examination
H.I. GHOSH29
Mobile Clinic
• More than 11,000 people screened fpr NCDs
• 68% were women• 7800 women were
screened for breast abnormalities
• All of them know how to do self breast examination
H.I. GHOSH30
The Chronic Diseases Center
H.I. GHOSH31
The Chronic Diseases Center
• A unique center in Palestine with a holistic approach for management of NCDs
• Management of heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia
• Risk assessment
• Early detection of NCD through diagnostic procedures
• Counseling
H.I. GHOSH32
Diagnostic Procedures
• Patient’s and family history• Blood pressure• Weight and height• Dr’s examination• Upon need:
– ECG– Echocardiography– Treadmill– Holter
• Counseling

Cost of chronic diseases
• Economic
• Impact of the quality of life
• Decrease the productivity of individuals
H.I. GHOSH37
A CHALLENGE AND AN OPPORTUNITY
• The rapid rise of noncommunicable diseases represents one of the major health challenges to global development in this century. This growing challenge threatens economic and social development as well as the lives and health of millions of people

H.I. GHOSH38
A CHALLENGE AND AN OPPORTUNITY
• Noncommunicable diseases are estimated to have contributed to almost 60% (31.7 million) of deaths in the world and 43% of the global burden of disease.
• Based on current trends, by the year 2020 these diseases are expected to account for 73% of deaths and 60% of the disease burden.

H.I. GHOSH39
A CHALLENGE AND AN OPPORTUNITY
• Developing Countries suffer the greatest impact of noncommunicable diseases.
• The total number of deaths attributable to noncommunicable diseases, 77% occurred in developing countries,
• The disease burden represents, 85% in these countries.

H.I. GHOSH40
LESSONS LEARNED
• Noncommunicable diseases are to a great extent preventable through interventions against the major risk factors and their environmental, economic, social and behavioural determinants in the population.
• A comprehensive long-term strategy for control of noncommunicable diseases must necessarily include prevention of the emergence of risk factors in the first place.

H.I. GHOSH41
Chronic Disease Management
• All treatment plans and education programs must be adapted to the cultural and social environment for the patients.
