| dc.description.abstract | Non-communicable diseases are increasing globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. For countries on the African continent, this is of particular concern as the combination of a persisting burden of infectious disease coupled with a burgeoning of non-communicable diseases could cripple already strained health care systems. The current paradigm subscribes heavily on detection, treatment and management of patients with non-communicable diseases. This perspective is important, but a more balanced approach that strengthens prevention efforts is also needed. | en_ZA |
