Abstract:

Background: Rapid economic growth in mainland China has been accompanied in recent years by rising levels of inequality and a growing burden of non-communicable disease (NCD), though little is known at present about the relations between these forces. This thesis makes use of data from a large sample of older men and women in Guangzhou, one of China’s most developed cities, to examine the relations between inequality, inequity and non-communicable disease. Objectives: This thesis addresses two research questions: what is the relationship between inequality/inequity and non-communicable dise

Abstract:

A country’s health information system (HIS) is expected to produce information on the distribution of population health, its determinants and the health system response which is crucial for evidence-based policymaking. However, HIS are often weak in low- and middle-income countries. India is rapidly undergoing an epidemiological transition with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries now accounting for a large proportion of the disease burden. This thesis examined the data available on NCDs and injuries in India in order to inform further development of India’s HIS. Data available on so

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) continue to rise in South Africa, accounting for 43% of total deaths in 2012. Smoking and a diet high in salt are among the major modifiable risk factors for NCDs that can be addressed through cost-effective policy interventions in the form of regulation or legislation and active multisectoral engagement. Population-based prevalence and mortality data are necessary for monitoring and evaluation such interventions. South Africa has developed a National Strategic Plan for NCDs but there is limited evaluation of NCD policie

Leadership, resources, incentives, and quality improvement across the healthcare system and within individual organisations are prerequisites to successful implementation and sustainability as part of the framework’s practice and system changes.

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Background: A growing concern about possible age-related inequities in health care access has emerged in the increasing debate on the challenges of population ageing and health in sub-Saharan Africa. Older persons may experience systematic exclusion from health services. Viewed as one of the poorest, most marginalized groups in SSA societies, older people are deemed to lack access to even basic, adequate health care. There is an assumption, furthermore, that older persons have less access to required health services than do younger age-groups. This suggests an

Background: The health systems in many low-middle income countries are faced with an increasing number of patients with non-communicable diseases within a high prevalence of infectious diseases.

The mortality rates from IHD, as well as overall mortality in Lithuania, increased since 1995, a tendency for decrease during the last decade has been observed.

Thus, the NCDs burden is most times chronic and multiple with the illness and suffering of the affected person numerous.
