As a medical biology manager, I carried out biological examinations for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
I find that the emergence of NCDs in developing countries is favored by changes in lifestyle.
Indeed, societal, economic, and physical conditions play on the behavior of its populations, with a direct effect on biological factors.
The modification of these biological factors causes premature death, disability, and absenteeism.
It is responsible for a loss of productivity while increasing health expenses.
These changes relate in particular to an unbalanced diet, physical inactivity, smoking, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption.
In addition, the states of these developing countries are not sufficiently equipped to deal with these types of pathologies.
Hence the need for international development organizations to support the governments of these countries to help them correct the shortcomings in the organization of care.
We therefore need a strategy adapted to each country in order to address the gaps identified in health systems, particularly: in access and quality of care provided to people living with an NCD, in financing, access to technologies, basic medicines, qualified personnel, the organization of care and service delivery, health information, etc.
On the other hand, if nothing is done, the quality of life of the populations of these developing countries will be compromised and will cause premature deaths.
