8. 2. Common challenges for Health Systems

9. There is a wide agreement that current trends …
demographic transition to an ageing society combined with
increasing burden of chronic diseases and growing complexity of physical and mental health comorbidities
… are putting pressure on health and social care systems across the Globe that struggle to meet population needs
We need a transformational change in the funding, designed and delivery of care systems. Digital health and the principles underpinning Integrated care must be part of that transformation

11. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are one of the major health and development challenges of the 21st century
NCDs are the leading cause of death globally, responsible for 38 million (68%) of the world’s 56 million deaths in More than 40% of them (16 million) were premature deaths under age 70 years
Their impact is specially severe in low-and middle income countries: Almost ¾ of all NCD deaths (28 million), and the majority of premature deaths (82%), occur in low- and middle- income countries
