Early screening and treatment help patients limit dangerous complications of non-communicable diseases.

Currently, there are many factors that increase the risk of non-communicable diseases such as smoking, improper nutrition, lack of exercise and alcohol abuse, and an unreasonable diet. In Lao Cai , as of the end of March 2023, the whole province had 22,399 patients with high blood pressure and 3,756 patients with diabetes being managed and treated at medical facilities. Strengthening the capacity of early detection and early treatment for the grassroots medical team will help patients in the province receive better health care, limiting dangerous complications and the risk of death.
