Las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) son la principal causa de muerte en los paises de ingresos medios-bajos, medios-altos y altos; para 2015 lo seran tambien en los paises de ingresos bajos. En adicion a la mortalidad, las ENT representan cerca de la mitad de la carga de enfermedad medida en anos de vida ajustados por discapacidad (DALY) en los paises de ingresos bajos y medios, y se proyectan grandes aumentos en los DALY relacionados con las ENT. Para responder a este reto, los gobiernos deberan disenar e implementar politicas economicas, sociales y de salud con las cuales se trabaje en las relaciones existentes entre las ENT y la pobreza, y minimizar las perdidas economicas y en salud de la poblacion. Las politicas publicas y el reto de las enfermedades cronicas no transmisibles ofrece un marco de referencia util para los gobiernos en la formulacion de sus estrategias. Los autores senalan que la respuesta politica mas efectiva sera dual: desarrollar programas para evitar tanto como sea posible la amenazadora carga de enfermedad de las ENT-por ejemplo, mediante intervenciones en salud publica y mejores servicios de salud- y simultaneamente prepararse para atender el sistema de salud y las presiones economicas que se originaran con el incremento de las ENT a causa del envejecimiento de las poblaciones. Este libro interesara a los gobiernos, organizaciones internacionales, universidades e institutos de investigacion, concentrandose en los servicios de salud, politicas economicas, salud publica y estrategias de reduccion de la pobreza.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to over 73% of all deaths annually. Each day NCDs cause more than 100,000 deaths, 80% of which occur in low- and middle-income countries. NCDs, however, are largely preventable, and a great deal of technical knowledge exists about how to prevent and manage them. Why, then, have we, as a global community, not been more successful at reducing this NCD burden? Does a universal problem not have a universal solution? Created by an international consortium of experts, this informative and accessible book provides practical guidelines, key learning points, and dynamic, real-world case studies to aid NCD program managers, policy officers and decision-makers in low- and middle-income countries, so that they can assess interventions for the prevention and control of NCDs. The book comprises ten chapters, which collectively explore the reasons behind, and strategies for, preventing and managing the NCD burden. It spans key themes such as political economy, the transferability of economic evidence, the role of cross-sectoral policies, the importance of deliberative processes, and health technology assessment. NCD Prevention is written for the benefit of the global health community, and is primarily targeted at those individuals who are involved in NCD programs. This book will also be of interest to NCD champions, policy advocates, and educators spearheading the movement for increased visiblity of NCDs.
