The
NCDs are now almost a pandemic for many populations worldwide. The double
burden of disease has taken a new shape in which NCDs are now afflicting low-
and middle-income countries, those primarily suffering from communicable or
infectious diseases. The global burden of both non-communicable disorders and
rare diseases represents a contemporary and future public health challenge in
pediatrics. Growth and development at childhood practically affect one's future
health and quality of life in adulthood. Childhood serves as a focal point for life-course
approaches to the prevention, management, and treatment of NDCs, and rare
diseases which represent a golden window of opportunity to improve and promote
every patient’s right to health. According to the World Health Organization,
they account for 86% of deaths and 77% of the disease burden in WHO European
Regions. If nothing changes, NCDs are projected to account for 55 million
deaths by 2030. Around 35% of deaths due to NCDs in the WHO regions arise from
four main causes of premature mortality-CVDs, cancers, chronic respiratory
diseases, and diabetes. While, however, the cause of reduced premature
mortality may have different implications for chronic diseases, people tend to
live longer but with chronic disabilities. Multimorbidity involved 65% of
individuals over the age of 65 and called for much more patient-centered and
complicated models of care.
