Aim: Global expenditure on medicines is rising up to 6% per year driven by increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and new premium priced medicines for cancer, orphan diseases and other complex areas. This is difficult to sustain without reforms. Methods: Extensive narrative review of published papers and contextualizing the findings to provide future guidance. Results: New models are being introduced to improve the managed entry of new medicines including managed entry agreements, fair pricing approaches and monitoring prescribing against agreed guidance. Multiple measures have also successfully been introduced to improve the prescribing of established medicines. This includes encouraging greater prescribing of generics and biosimilars versus originators and patented medicines in a class to conserve resources without compromising care. In addition, reducing inappropriate antibiotic utilization. Typically, multiple measures are the most effective. Conclusion: Multiple measures will be needed to attain and retain universal healthcare.

Medical Recommendations

In the current epidemic of a new coronavirus infection, COVID-19 treatment of patients with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDS) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in particular, requires close attention of doctors. The main objectives of such patients’ management tactics are to ensure that patients comply with self-isolation measures that prevent infection, motivate patients to follow all medical recommendations. Special attention should be paid to comply with recommended treatment of CVD. In the case of an infectious disease, it is necessary to assess the prescribed therapy for interaction with medications already taken by the patient. However, the tactics for COVID-19 therapy, including in patients with NCDS, may change over time, since there are currently no drugs with proven effectiveness for the treatment of a new coronavirus infection.

The Relationship

Adequate and balanced nutrition is essential to promote optimal child growth and a long and healthy life. After breastfeeding, the second step is the introduction of complementary feeding (CF), a process that typically covers the period from 6 to 24 months of age. This process is, however, still highly controversial, as it is heavily influenced by socio-cultural choices, as well as by the availability of specific local foods, by family traditions, and pediatrician beliefs. The Società Italiana di Pediatria Preventiva e Sociale (SIPPS) together with the Federazione Italiana Medici Pediatri (FIMP), the Società Italiana per lo Sviluppo e le Origine della Salute e delle Malattie (SIDOHaD), and the Società Italiana di Nutrizione Pediatrica (SINUPE) have developed evidence-based recommendations for CF, given the importance of nutrition in the first 1000 days of life in influencing even long-term health outcomes. This paper includes 38 recommendations, all of them strictly evidence-based and overall addressed to developed countries. The recommendations in question cover several topics such as the appropriate age for the introduction of CF, the most appropriate quantitative and qualitative modalities to be chosen, and the relationship between CF and the development of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) later in life.

Abstract Background Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Malaysia have risen substantially over the last two decades. We aimed to (i) evaluate the sustainability of the existing NCDs risk factor program implemented under the National Strategic Plan and (ii) identify challenges and factors impeding the sustainability of the NCDs program. Methods A mixed-method approach using a combination of the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool with 40-item instrument assessing 8 domains (organizational capacity, program adaptation, program evaluation, communications, strategic planning, funding stability, environmental support and partnerships) and 5 open-ended questions were administered to 80 key managers from district directors of chronic disease programs in Malaysia. The mean score for each of the 8 sustainability domains and the overall mean sustainability score were determined. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Results Seven domains scored a mean of ≥ 4. The domains of communications (cross-site mean, 4.5 on a scale of 1-7) and organizational capacity (mean, 4.4) had the highest ratings. Funding stability had the lowest rating (mean, 3.8). The overall mean sustainability score was 4.2. Open-ended responses revealed challenges by program leaders, including implementation difficulties, factors impede planning for NCDs sustainability program, lack of financial, staff support and staff training which are largely consistent with the scaled domains. Conclusions Capacity issues affecting the sustainability of NCDs program in Malaysia are qualitatively similar to other countries. Future work should aim at improving funding stability and integrating evidence-based public health strategies to sustain implemented NCDs program. Key messages Researchers could utilize this tool to assess program design and strategies promoting sustainability during implementation process for long term program sustainment. Investments in leadership support for integrating program evaluation into implementation and greater funding flexibility may enhance sustainability of evidence-based public health program for NCDs.
