It draws on internationally recognized best practices and will achieve sustainability from the Administration commitment to funding the response and wider Ministry of Health initiatives to mobilize other latent, untapped national partners.This strategic plan for NCDs utilizes the Caribbean Strategic Plan of Action for the Prevention and Control of NCDs as a framework to address the top four causes of premature death in Guyana: cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases ensuring a multi-sectoral, integrated approach is maintained.
