Tóm tắt :

51 p. Like many countries Armenia is facing a growing noncommunicable disease (NCD) burden. This report examinesthe opportunities and challenges for Armenia to accelerate improvement in cardiovascular and diabetesoutcomes. Significant progress on population-level prevention is required and eff orts and enforcement modalities for alcohol and tobacco control could be stepped up. Obesity is a growing challenge yet interventions to improve diet and physical activity are limited. A multisectoral platform backed up by targets, monitoring and accountability would help overcome sectoral segmentation in the public administration. Organization of general practitionerservices create a good platform for the detection and management of NCDs, although fragmentation of patientcare between providers needs to be overcome. Nurses could be better used throughout the system particularly in counselling and management of patients with chronic conditions. Public spending on health care is relativelylow. Increasing health care spending requires raising more funds to be spent on health services, for examplethrough earmarked taxes, and freeing up resources through more efficient and effective use of existing resource.
