Strengthening collaborative efforts for improved NCD Interventions in Indonesia

The increasing rate of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia requires targeted and specific primary and secondary prevention. Nearly one-third of adults in Indonesia have hypertension, yet less than 30% are aware of their hypertension status, and only 47% of people with diabetes are aware of their diabetes status. Therefore, screening for hypertension and diabetes is important to address the growing burden of NCDs in Indonesia.
