Strengthening early diagnostic programmes
Description
Strengthening early diagnostic programmes involves implementing systematic screening, improved access to diagnostic tools, and timely identification of diseases or conditions at their earliest stages. This strategy aims to reduce morbidity and mortality by enabling prompt intervention, minimizing disease progression, and optimizing resource allocation. Key actions include training healthcare providers, integrating diagnostics into primary care, and raising public awareness, thereby addressing delays in diagnosis and improving health outcomes across populations.
Implementation
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
Capacities for early preventative/treatment action are improved.
