Description
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD), hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DL), are the leading causes of global mortality, accounting for 71% of deaths annually. Early detection is critical to reducing their burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper explores the pivotal role of community health nurses (CHNs) in identifying these conditions within populations covered by health insurance packages. Globally, CVD claims 17.9 million lives yearly, with hypertension affecting 22% of adults. Leveraging insurance-covered services, CHNs facilitate screening, risk factor identification, and timely intervention. This review highlights their contributions and the need for integrated health system support to enhance NCD management.
