8. Sub-analysis of NHMS 2011 data
โข At least 15% (18 years and above) already with known NCD
risk factors (diabetes, hypertension or hypercholesterolemia).
โข Undiagnosed high blood sugar, high blood pressure or high
cholesterol: 42.1% (18 years and above).
โข Or, if include obesity: 48.3% (18 years and above).
โข Therefore our high risk and at risk population: 63.3% (18
years and above)

10. Cost effective NCD interventionsโฆ
โข What works, what can we afford, and what should we adopt?
โข The challenge? Identify interventions that:
โข are effective;
โข can lead to measurable declines in NCD death rates quickly (e.g.
over 10 years);
โข are affordable; and
โข can easily be implemented and sustained.

11. Cost effective interventions to address
NCDs
Population-based
interventions
addressing
NCD
risk factors
Tobacco use - Excise tax increases
- Smoke-free indoor workplaces and public places
- Health information and warnings about tobacco
- Bans on advertising and promotion
Harmful use
of alcohol
- Excise tax increases on alcoholic beverages
- Comprehensive restrictions and bans on alcohol marketing
- Restrictions on the availability of retailed alcohol
Unhealthy
diet and
physical
inactivity
- Salt reduction through mass media campaigns and reduced salt
content in processed foods
- Replacement of trans-fats with polyunsaturated fats
- Public awareness programme about diet and physical activity
Individual-based
interventions
addressing
NCDs in
primary care
Cancer - Prevention of liver cancer through hepatitis B immunization
- Prevention of cervical cancer through screening (visual
inspection with acetic acid [VIA]) and treatment of pre-cancerous
lesions
CVD and
diabetes
- Multi-drug therapy (including glycaemic control for diabetes
mellitus) for individuals who have had a heart attack or stroke,
and to persons at high risk (> 30%) of a cardiovascular event
within 10 years
- Providing aspirin to people having an acute heart attack

12. UN Secretary-General:
NCDs in developing countries are hidden,
misunderstood and under-recorded
A rapidly rising epidemic in developed and
developing countriesโฆ
โฆ with serious socio-economic impacts,
particularly in developing countries.
Workable solutions exist to prevent most
premature deaths from NCDs and mitigate the
negative impact on development.
The way forward: These solutions need to be
mainstreamed into socio-economic development
programmes and poverty alleviation strategies.
12
13. Non-Communicable Diseases:
Socio-economic Impact
โข Macro-economic impact:
โข World Economic Forum estimates high risk and likelihood of
negative economic impact from NCDs.
โข Heart diseases, stroke and diabetes alone estimated to reduce
GDP between 1-5% in developing countries.
13
REDUCED ECONOMIC GROWTH
Then how to initiate or sustain UHC?
14. Non-Communicable Diseases:
Socio-economic Impact
โข Impact at household level:
โข World Bank estimates that one-third of people living on US$1-2 a
day die prematurely of NCDs.
โข People in developing countries die younger from NCDs, often in
their most productive years.
โข Low-income households suffer from the cost of long term
treatment and the cost of unhealthy behaviours:
โข Cost of caring for a family member with diabetes: 20% of low-income
household income
โข Poorest households spend more than 10% of their income on
tobacco
โข Cost of essential drugs to treat and cure cancer makes them
unaffordable for the poor
14
15. Economic Burden of Diabetes
โข Chronic diseases place a substantial economic burden on
society. Estimates for the United States place the costs of
chronic illness at around three-quarters of the total national
health expenditure (Hoffman et al. 1996).
โข Some individual chronic diseases, such as diabetes, account
for between 2% and 15% of national health expenditure in
some European countries (Suhrcke et al. 2005).
15
WHERE IS OUR DATA?
We need Malaysian data
16. Cost of Diabetes in Malaysia
โข People diagnosed with diabetes have access to diabetes care
and treatment in Malaysia.
โข Diabetes costs are estimated to account for 16% of the
national Malaysian healthcare budget.
โข placing Malaysia among the top 10 countries in the world in
terms of percentage of healthcare budget spent on diabetes.
โข In 2010, an estimated RM 2.4 billion was spent on diabetes-related
healthcare.
16
Zhang P. et al. Global healthcare expenditure on
diabetes for 2010 and 2030. Diabetes research
and clinical practice. 2010; 87: 293โ 301.
17. Cost of Diabetes in Malaysia
โข Cost of managing diabetes in Malaysia: ~RM19,000.00 per
patient per year
โข Conservative estimate from a study we did in 2007
โข Not ideal treatment
โข Data from NHMS 2011 estimates about 1.1 million patients
are on follow up at MOH hospitals and clinics
โข 1.1 M x RM 19k = RM 20.9 billion!!
17
QUALITY OF CARE?
Dichotomy between public โ private
Increasing number of patients in public
health facilities
18. Complications drive costs!
โข While there are no studies in Malaysia that outline the breakdown
of diabetes costs, a study (CODE II) shows that up to 73% of
diabetes-related healthcare costs result from hospitalisation and
ambulatory care, as a result of complications due to poor blood
sugar control.
โข Only 7% of the total
diabetes-related
healthcare cost is spent
on anti-diabetic drugs.

in the EU and findings from 8 EU countries.

19. Financing NCD prevention
and control programmes
โข Policy & regulatory interventions do not require a huge
budget.
โข What is more crucial is the political leadership and commitment.
โข Support from civil society is also essential.
19
20. Summary
โข The issue is not should we spend more money (GDP) for
health
โข We already have universal health coverage
โข We subscribe to cost-effective treatment
โข The question remains that if we were to spend more money
(GDP) on health NOW, how are we assured that especially for
NCDs, we will get our moneyโs worth.
