Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global health issue that accounts for a large proportion of deaths worldwide and the overall burden of disease. Despite continuous efforts to tackle NCD, a more robust response is required to reduce the disease burden and mortality, particularly among individuals already living with these conditions. This paper presents an integrated approach based on several priorities, including self-management of chronic diseases and long-term care supported by collaboration among healthcare professionals, families, communities, and health policies. Such a holistic strategy may reduce complications, improve quality of life, and contribute to sustainable development goals, thereby ensuring a sustainable response to the growing global challenge of NCDs.
