The WHO global alliance against chronic respiratory diseases in Turkey (GARD Turkey)

Bulaşıcı olmayan kronik hastalıkları önlemek ve kontrol etmek amacıyla, 61. Dünya Sağlık Şûrası bir “bulaşıcı olmayan kronik hastalıklar eylem planı” başlatmıştır. Kronik solunum hastalıklarını da içeren bu hastalıklar için bir paket geliştirilmiştir. GARD Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ)’ne bu konuda ülkeler düzeyinde yardımcı olan yeni ama hızla büyüyen bir birleşimdir ve 2006 yılında başlatılmıştır. GARD Türkiye hükümet tarafından tüm ilgili paydaşları içererek geliştirilen ilk kapsamlı programdır. Bu yazıda Türkiye’deki kronik solunum hastalıklarının şiddet ve prevalansı konusundaki belirteçlerin bir özeti sunulmakta ve GARD Türkiye oluşum ve gelişim süreci özetlenmektedir.

Türkiye’de DSÖ kronik solunum hastalıklarına karşı küresel birleşim (GARD Türkiye)

In order to prevent and control non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the 61st World Health Assembly has endorsed an NCD action plan (WHA resolution 61.14). A package for essential NCDs including chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) has also been developed. The Global Alliance against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD) is a new but rapidly developing voluntary alliance that is assisting World Health Organization (WHO) in the task of addressing NCDs at country level. The GARD approach was initiated in 2006. GARD Turkey is the first comprehensive programme developed by a government with all stakeholders of the country. This paper provides a summary of indicators of the prevalence and severity of chronic respiratory diseases in Turkey and the formation of GARD Turkey.
