Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a
major global health challenge in the 21st century,
undermining socio-economic development around
the world [1]. In low-resource settings, NCDs drain
household resources due to the associated high
healthcare costs, and often lead to loss of economic
productivity driving households and individuals into,
poverty [2]. An estimated 41 million annual deaths are
caused by NCDs worldwide, and nearly 80% of these
deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries
(LMICs) [2].
