Non-Communicable Diseases course addresses the major non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease, and their risk factors such as diet, exercise, tobacco, and alcohol, which are responsible for considerable morbidity and premature adult mortality globally and specifically in the KSA. The course is based on an understanding the evidential basis for the cause of NCDs from epidemiological and bio-medical studies, followed by detailed analysis of population health risk factors and the challenges they pose for population approaches to prevention and control of NCDs. The course will address the challenges of different population approaches to NCDs control, and their record of success and failures globally and in the Kingdom.
