Evidence for action on NCDs in Samoa and Solomon Islands |
|
Project ID: NC-009 |
Status: Active |
Pacific Island countries experience some of the highest prevalences of diabetes and related diseases, and their health systems face a growing challenge in how to manage and respond to this burden. IHP, working with collaborators at Fiji National University (FNU), are jointly assessing the cost of NCDs to the health systems of Samoa and Solomon Islands, and modeling the costs and impacts of proposed PEN intervention programs so as to advise their health ministries on how to best optimize the design of such programmes. |
