REDUCING MORTALITY FROM CARDIOVASCULAR AND OTHER NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN ECONOMIES WITH HIGH PER CAPITA INCOME: THE ACTIVITY OF NOT GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS

By the forecast experts, social and economic losses related to non￾communicable diseases (NCD), huge in the future, probably, will increase. Taken this, there is a need for additional investments in effective prevention and treatment of these diseases. In assessment of NCD tendencies in the beginning of 21st Century in ten high-income economies (HIE) of Asian-Pacific region (APR) the statistics was used from the databases of WHO and UN. During the period 2000-2012 y., mortality rates from NCD were decreasing in all economies, but in Russian Federation they were 2-3 times higher, than in other economies. Probability to die from the main NCDs at the age 30-70 y.o. was the highest in RF (30%), comparing to other economies (9-17%). By the prevalence of smoking (40%) and obesity (26,5%) RF was, respectively, the first after Chili and the fifth after Chili, USA, New Zealand and Australia, and by alcohol consumption (15,1 L per capita year) and prevalence of high blood pressure (37,8%) — first place in the region. Expenses for the Healthcare in RF were 1,5-6 times lower than in other economies. It is time now, when it is necessary to invest in prevention of NCDs in RF and economies of APR with high per capita income. Participation of not government, not state institutions, based on state￾private partnership, will make it possible to effectively implement structural and human resources changes, and to supply the healthcare system with drugs and equipment.
