There are three main messages running
throughout this report. First, Non Communicable Diseases
(NCDs) can impose large health, financial and economic costs
on countries. This is particularly important in the Pacific
where Government already finances, and provides, the bulk of
health services. Second, risk factors in the Pacific are
feeding a pipeline of potentially expensive to treat NCDs,
including diabetes and heart disease, but governments are
already fiscally constrained in how much more they can
provide to the health system. Third, from public health and
public finance perspective, many of the NCDs are avoidable,
or their health and financial costs can at least be
postponed, through good primary and secondary prevention.
This will require a more coherent approach to health system
financing, and health system operations more generally. |
