The World Health Organization’s Evidenced-Based Approach to Chronic Diseases: Primary Prevention or Caring for End-Stage Disease?
Tom Judd, MS, PE, CCE, CPHQ, FACCE https://doi.org/10.7812/TPP/09-009IntroductionPhillip Tuso, MD's, commentary excellently describes the difficult challenge of caring for people in Ethiopia with chronic kidney disease. Dr Tuso raises a very important question: How much should a developing country invest in caring for the end-stage disease state versus extensive revamping of primary care to enhance preventive interventions? On the basis of 20 years of experience as a World Health Organization (WHO) consultant, I would like to discuss how WHO addresses this important question. |
