Non-Communicable Diseases Risk Factors Survey in Georgia 2006-2007 was conducted by CINDI Georgia Team as the part of Priority 4 of Biennial Collaborative Agreement (BCA) between the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs (MOH) of Georgia and the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization 2006/2007: Reducing Burden of Preventable Non-communicable Diseases.
Objectives • To obtain detailed information from the examined sample • To estimate the prevalence of NCD behavioral risk factors (tobacco, physical inactivity, diet, alcohol), as well as biological risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, overweight and obesity) in the Tbilisi adult (25-65) population • To utilize the information for developing the needs and to plan future interventions for strengthened capacity for integrated NCD prevention and control. • To establish an NCD survey teams, which will be able to provide surveys in other parts of Georgia and at the National level
Goal • To establish an NCD surveillance system in Georgia • To provide of epidemiological information on chronic non-communicable diseases and the prevalence of their risk factors in the community. This information will be used to plan National strategy for NCD prevention and control • To provide international comparisons of rates and trends in different member countries and demonstration areas

Conclusions • One of the main goals is: Collection of necessary quality information for planning and implementing of the adequate surveillance system of non-communicable disease prevention and control. • Problems associated with healthcare system: • Poor reliability of statistics available in the country • Lack of the national policy for tackling non-communicable diseases in the country • Deficit of availability of comprehensive, continuous, coordinated, high-quality medical service at the primary healthcare level • Problems associated with medical personnel • Population-associated problems
Recommendations • Improvement of the non-communicable diseases’ morbidity and mortality statistical data collection system in the country; • Adapting of the non-communicable diseases risk-factors screening and monitoring programs at the country level; • Planning of the national policy tackling non-communicable diseases with real cooperation of the State healthcare structures and professional associations; • Elaboration of the cost-effective program of Arterial Hypertension as the main CVD risk-factor management for decreasing the mortality caused by the circulatory system diseases; • Diabetes Mellitus program provision at the State and Municipal levels; • Expanding cancer screening activities in framework of the existing State and Municipal programs; • Expending respiratory diseases’ screening;
Recommendations • • Improving the quality of primary healthcare services for identifying, evaluating, preventing and treating chronic diseases and using modern standards; • • Implementation of the non-communicable diseases’ management unified guidelines in the healthcare system and their periodic renewal, based on evidence; • • Elaboration of nutrition recommendations considering Georgian population nutritional and cultural characteristics by identifying the share of ingredients in the food ratio;
Recommendations • Improvement of the doctors’ professional knowledge and skills for increasing the level of consent of patients to prolonged treatment; • Improvement of the nurse education model; • Integrated approach to the non-communicable diseases’ management – medical doctor, nurse, pharmacist, health educator – for effective collaboratio
