Scope of conditions to be included. The grey shaded area represents scenario 1, which includes only acute presentations of NCDs. Scenario 2 includes the grey shaded area as well as the area enclosed by the dotted line, which encompasses acute and chronic presentations of NCDs and requires markedly more resources. (3) ‘Follow-up Rx for survivors of 1 and 2’ is only partially enclosed in the grey area, because only 90 days of follow-up is contemplated as compared with the lifelong treatment, that is, required. DM, diabetes mellitus; MI, myocardial infarction; NCD, non-communicable disease; Rx, management.
