National NCD Prevention & Control Policy

Brief:

The ultimate goal of this document is to improve the overall quality of life for Emaswati and contribute to the national human and economic development. The National Non Communicable Diseases Policy is informed by the existing situation of the rapidly increasing levels of NCDs which is having major impact on the health system, which negatively affects the economy of Swaziland.

This policy has been developed to define a philosophical approach which will guide decision makers, individuals, families, local associations, the public and private sector as well as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in their involvement in NCDs prevention and control.
