Driving Change: Scaling up an integrated care package for diabetes and hypertension in Cambodia, Slovenia and Belgium

The global prevalence of 9% for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 31% for hypertension (HT) reflects the dominance of these two conditions in the global burden of disease. Effective interventions for prevention, detection, and management of both conditions are available, but do not reach all people in need as many countries struggle to scale up interventions effectively and sustainably. 

The Scale Up an integrated care package for diabetes and hypertension for vulnerable people in Cambodia, Slovenia and Belgium (SCUBY) project, which was implemented between 2019 and 2023, aimed to address that gap, by examining scale-up of existing evidence-based interventions for the control of HT and/or T2D.
