Quality of care is a priority for U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Six different methods - accreditation, COPE, improvement collaborative, standards-based management and recognitions (SBM-R), supervision, and clinical in-service training - currently make up the majority of this investment for USAID missions.

Capitalizing on the Demographic Transition
Increasing life expectancy in South Asia is resulting in a demographic transition that can, under the right circumstances, yield dividends through more favorable dependency ratios for a time. With aging, the disease burden shifts toward noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) which can threaten healthy aging.

This book looks primarily at cardiovascular disease (CVD) and tobacco use since they account for a disproportionate am...
