While chronic conditions cannot be cured, their impact on QOL and their progression can be minimized with treatment and self-management. The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Department of Chronic Disease and Health Promotion (CHP) advocates:
•
Preventing premature deaths and avoiding unnecessary disability due to
chronic diseases;
•
•
Treating chronic diseases effectively, using the latest knowledge;
•
•
Providing equitable and good quality health care for major chronic
diseases.
•
We’ll now look more specifically at self-managing chronic conditions. |
