WHO Framework for Effective Noncommunicable Disease Control in Prisons

The WHO Framework for Effective Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) Control in Prisons is a set of international guidelines designed to improve health care for prisoners with chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. It emphasizes ensuring access to quality screening, treatment, and prevention services within prisons, as well as promoting healthy environments and behaviors. The framework aims to reduce health disparities between prisoners and the general population, ensuring that those in correctional facilities receive appropriate and continuous care for NCDs, ultimately safeguarding their health and supporting their successful reintegration into society.
