Tóm tắt :

Bhutan has been witnessing a trend of increasing diabetes in recent years. Theincrease is attributed to a rise in risk factors such as overweight, high blood pressure,unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyle among the population. To address the risingburden, the health-services response has been to establish diabetes clinics inall hospitals and grade one basic health units. People visiting the health centreswho have high risk factors and symptoms for diabetes are screened using theWorld Health Organization cut-off level for blood glucose. They are then classifiedinto prediabetes and diabetes. Accordingly, diet, medicine and physical activity arerecommended as per their body mass index. To improve prevention and control ofnoncommunicable diseases, which include diabetes, the country piloted the WHOPackage of Essential Noncommunicable (PEN) disease interventions for primaryhealth care in low-resource settings in 2009, to promote early screening, treatmentand follow-up, and adopted it in 2013. The WHO PEN has now been successfullyintegrated into the primary health-care system nationwide. It is planned thatdiabetes clinics will be upgraded to NCD clinics
