Goals
Goal
1 : Primary Prevention
Prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in susceptible communities and
individuals
Objective : Reduce the prevalence of modifiable risk factors for Type 2 diabetes
Expected Result by 2005 : A significant majority (75%) of countries in the Region with active integrated prevention plans of which diabetes is a key component or demontrating evidence of putting structures and processes in place to achieve this
Goal
2 : Secondary Prevention
Prevent or delay the development and progression of diabetes complications
Objectives :
-
Achieve earlier diagnosis of diabetes and earlier initiation of secondary prevention measures
-
Improve the quality and effectiveness of clinical diabetes care, particularly at community and district level
-
Improve the quality and effectiveness of the management of existing diabetes complications, i.e. rehabilitation services and palliative care
-
Improve the quality and effectiveness of diabetes education
Expected Result by 2005 : A reduction in surrogate endpoints such as HbA1c in flagship centres in at least 10% of countries
Goal
3 : Systems
Strengthen the capacity of national health systems to deliver and
monitor equitable, affordable, and effective services for the prevention
and care of diabetes and its complications
Objectives :
-
Develop and introduce national diabetes plans or integrated NCD control plans in which diabetes is identified as a priority component
-
Establish the baseline burden of diabetes and major NCD risk factors and monitor the effectiveness of interventions
-
Establish mechanisms for improving the planning and organization of diabetes prevention and care
-
Increase access to affordable, high quality health services, essential medications and supplies to meet the care requirements of people with diabetes
-
Resources permitting, undertake research to advance and apply knowledge about effective prevention, delivery of care, and management of diabetes
Expected Results by 2005 : 30% of countries with active national diabetes plans or integrated health plans that are addressing and improving the planning, organization, integration, delivery and monitoring of diabetes prevention and care ; 60% of countries with national diabetes associations
