Abstract: The overall objective of the Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) risk factors survey was to improve the information available to the Government health services and care providers on a set of high-priority risk factors, with a view to improve the quality health care and services. The survey also aimed to establish the baseline database of NCD risk factors needed to monitor trends in population health behavior and risk factors for chronic diseases over time. This would provide evidence for evolving strategies and interventions for identified risk factors in the community to reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases.
