Our message to policy makers

|
|

Diabetes and hypertension are serious risks for the adult population, and increasing year by year. Less than half of the people with serious risks are aware of their health problems. We need to increase the health service package in communities and health facilities to serve people better. We also need to reach new people with screening and health education, who were not involved so far. And above all, we need to maintain the quality of existing government programmes for non-communicable diseases. Therefore, policy makers must provide more money, more medicines, and better trained personnel to improve health of the population.
