Strengthening collaborative efforts for improved NCD Interventions in Indonesia
Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD), SUNI-SEA Consortium, Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) | 28 May 2024
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.
The Scaling up non-communicable diseases interventions in Southeast Asia (SUNI-SEA) project implemented between 1 January 2019 and 30 June 2023 aimed to improve NCD prevention and control services in Indonesian communities.
