Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and asthma are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. These conditions require ongoing management, which places a significant burden on healthcare systems. Effective chronic disease management is essential to improve the quality of life for patients and reduce healthcare costs.
Chronic disease management programs focus on monitoring patient health, providing education on lifestyle changes, and offering support to help patients manage their conditions. These programs often involve multidisciplinary teams of healthcare providers, including doctors, nurses, dietitians, and mental health specialists, working together to provide comprehensive care.
Improving chronic disease management not only helps patients live healthier lives but also reduces hospitalizations and emergency room visits, easing the strain on healthcare systems.
