Chronic Disease Management: An Assessment of Health Facilities on Their Readiness to Provide Services for Non-communicable Diseases in Kenya.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for an estimated 71% of all global deaths annually and nearly 80% of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the readiness of existing healthcare systems at different levels of care in delivering NCDs management and prevention services in Kenya.
