dc.description.abstractNon-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as hypertension and diabetes, have assumed the centre stage of discussion among health policymakers globally1 . Although health policymak ers have not shifted their attention from infectious diseases, non-infectious diseases are increasingly receiving attention from policymakers and the general public. Attention has mostly been paid to the characteristics of diabetes and hypertension, risk factors, management, and mortality2–7 . Years ago, hyper tension and diabetes, which were initially characterized as diseases of the rich and aged, are now affecting all categories of people across various wealth quintiles and ages8,9 . Health experts have cautioned on the need to reduce the occur rence of these diseases citing references from the data of the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD)10–12 and evidenced study outcomes1,13–15
