Description

The national multisectoral action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases 2018-2027 outlines measures by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to respond to the growing challenges of the four NCDs, namely cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes that Cambodia is facing.
Preventing and controlling NCDs is an urgent priority for Cambodia. Most of the underlying causes of NCDs and their risk factors lie outside the control of the health sector. The health sector alone however cannot prevent and control NCDs. This multisectoral action plan is required to create enabling environments, in homes, villages, and cities, and the whole society, so that healthy choices are the easy choices. To achieve this, we require a multi-sectoral action plan to break the cycle of poverty and non-communicable diseases. Preventing and controlling NCDs and their risk factors will create a positive impact not only on health but also on productivity and socio-economic development.
