ON THE FRONT LINE: THE ROLE OF FRONT LINE HEALTH WORKERS<br />
IN PREVENTING AND TREATING LUNG DISEASES AND NCDS<br />
Open to all delegates<br />
People living with lung diseases, and in particular additional non-communicable disease (NCD) co-morbidities, require ongoing complex and holistic<br />
care. With increasingly ageing populations in both developed and developing countries, the burden of these co-morbidities is continually growing,<br />
and yet health systems are ill-equipped to respond. In order to respond effectively to NCD co-morbidities, there is a need to place a strong emphasis<br />
on the value of early prevention, strengthen and reorient health systems for chronic conditions, to integrate care across lung health and other NCDs.<br />
The role of front line health workers is instrumental both in educating the population on NCD prevention, and in delivering integrated care for people<br />
with NCDs.<br />
