Abstract Background/objective: Due to the widespread prevalence of non-communicable diseases, the World Health Organization has designed a package of essential interventions for non-communicable diseases for primary health care in low-resource settings. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the implementation of the WHO PEN for primary health care in low-resource settings. Materials and Methods This research was conducted through a five-step process of scoping review. We first searched for the keywords Noncommunicable Diseases, NCD, WHO PEN, PEN and other synonyms for these words to find the suitable analytical studies in databases including PubMed / MEDLINE, Scopus Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar. The articles were then selected based on the PRISMA 2009 Flow Diagram. Finally, to analyze the content from the results section of the selected articles, we used the framework analysis method to extract the study implementation outcome and the factors affecting it. Results A total of 26 articles were included. Most articles are from 2016 to 2018. Most of the articles were cross-sectional and most studies evaluated the outcomes of Appropriateness and Feasibility. Identified effective factors include target population coverage, staff training, patient motivation, patient follow-up, and observance of PEN protocols. Conclusion Using this study, policymakers and managers of the health system will be able to implement this package (WHO PEN) more successfully.

Chapter 14 expands on the role of palliative care within the framework of cancer control. In addition, the public health approach outlined by the WHO, including appropriate policy, adequate drug availability, education, and palliative care delivery at all levels of health care, will be discussed. Finally, the challenges in adapting these principles into high and low resource settings will be described.

Color coding in health sector refers to the systematic process of displaying information using different colors for providing assistance in classification and identification. In the public health sector, where the aim is to improve the health indicators of the general population as a whole, application of color coding not only enables diagnosis of important health condition but even serves as a rationale to start an appropriate line of management. Multiple applications of color-coding have been identified in the health sector. However, the colorcoded approach is not fool-proof and has its shortcomings. Moreover, most of these concerns can be resolved by proper sensitization of health professionals and adoption of a standardized color-coding approach universally. In conclusion, color coding in health care has the immense scope to ensure delivery of quality assured services, especially in low resource settings. Nevertheless, there is a crucial need to implement this approach universally to expand its range of benefits to both patients and healthcare professionals.
