The purpose of this report is to examine
and propose options for policy design and implementation,
based on a situational analysis for six Eastern Caribbean
countries and a review of the lessons of other nations in
prevention and control. A committed partner of the
Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) countries,
the World Bank is responding to their needs to address the
increasing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) burden by
providing this report. This report analyzes the situation,
reviews lessons learnt in other countries in the prevention
and control of major NCDs, and proposes policy options to
address the challenges. Specifically, this report aims to
provide policy makers with an overview of the NCDs and key
risk factors in the region and make inter-country
comparisons; assess the economic impact of key NCDs and risk
factors where data are available; outline policy options and
cost effective interventions for controlling major NCDs that
are common to the OECS countries; and provide input for
developing a regional health strategy. In the belief that
powerful information can drive strategic action, the report
aims to: raise awareness of the reality and consequences of
failure to take strong action; and identify priority actions
that are realistic and tangible for policy makers in
developing strategies and allocating resources. |
