dc.description.abstractIn Brazil, chronic non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and hypertension are of high public health importance. Brazil has already built mechanisms in the PHC sector to screen for some of the most epidemiologically relevant diseases. Some cancers, hypertension and diabetes have screening and prevention strategies, but more could be done to improve depth and scope of such strategies. Key priorities are to move towards population-based screening programmes for breast and cervical cancer, with a personalised approach and more communication strategies. In the area of diabetes and hypertension, Brazil will need to further develop disease management pathways with a people-centred perspective, integrating all health care providers across different sectors. Family health teams will need to have the right tools, capacities, and incentives to undertake these responsibilities. Last but not least, a more comprehensive information system based on registries, and allowing linking different data sources will also be important.
