Non Communicable Diseases to Be the Cause of Deaths in Poor Countries by 2115-World Bank
"Another way families cope is to have women and children care for their sick relatives, which can mean children have to leave school during a health crisis to care for a sick relative, earn extra money or use money to cover medical costs that had been put aside for their educations," she said.
In Indonesia, for example, private health care spending is projected to more than double by 2020, compared to 2005, as its elderly population grows in size and needs treatment for chronic diseases.
The low and medium income countries have a number of options to help them promote healthy living. Curbing tobacco use, obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure outside the clinical setting are some of the options. Setting high cigarette taxes is one of the effective ways to cut back on smoking. It will not only reduce cancer and heart diseases but also increase revenue for the government. It will also discourage new smokers.
The report advocated banning of advertising, providing health care information and forbidding smoking in public places as cost-effective methods in relatively low income countries.
