Due to upsurge of non-communicable disease (NCD) burden, there is accentuated emphasis on task sharing and shifting NCDs-related health care delivery to non-physician healthcare workers especially nursing personnel and grass root level health professionals. This narrative review summates role of non-physician health workers, highlights various enablers and challenges while engaging them in delivery of NCD services so as to prevent and control various NCDs in India. Pubmed, Google scholar databases were searched using various keywords and Mesh terminologies. In addition, reference lists of selected articles were also screened. It is concluded that with regular update of knowledge, training, and supervision, these workers can efficiently deliver promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative NCD-related healthcare services to needy. While engagement of this workforce in NCDs mitigation is a transforming concept, it also has its own challenges and issues which need to be explored and addressed in order to utilize this human resource to their maximum potential.

Introduction A deeper comprehension of accountability is beneficial for identifying and fostering tactics to boost accountability and raise the standard of healthcare. The main objective of the present paper is to measure the level of customers’ perception of accountability of healthcare diagnostic service providers and to identify the factors that influence the perception of accountability of healthcare diagnostic service customers. Methods A questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 393 customers of various diagnostic centers in the city of Guwahati from the state of Assam in India. The reliability of the data was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha. Statistical tests were used for the mean, percentage, standard deviation, etc. Factor analysis was performed to find out the factors affecting customers’ perception of accountability. Results It was found that the overall level of perception of the customers with respect to the accountability of diagnostic centers in Guwahati is of high level. The study reveals four variables that affect how customers perceive the accountability of diagnostic service providers. These are Competency, Responsiveness, Compliance with protocol, and Problem-solving approach. Discussion Significant contributions have been made by the present study in terms of the development of a scale to measure customers’ perception of accountability of diagnostic centre, and the development of a theoretical model to explain this accountability.

“…Practical learning components within health facilities are shaped by the health sector priorities [9]. Although both infectious diseases and NCDs co-exist, attention is much more directed towards responding to the former, more specifically to HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, as the most prioritized [5,6,10].…”

“…The demands imposed by the rising NCD burden on LMIC health systems including diagnosis, management and treatment, will require a reorientation of healthcare systems to improve their responsiveness and address the new challenges accordingly [6]. Overall health system strengthening has been identified as a critical strategy in addressing the NCD burden [6,7]. Health system strengthening requires allocation of adequate numbers of qualified human resources (HR), one of its key building blocks.…”

Background The major burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally occurs in low-and middle-income countries, where this trend is expected to increase dramatically over the coming years. The resultant change in demand for health care will imply significant adaptation in how NCD services are provided. This study aimed to explore self-reported training and competencies of healthcare providers, and the barriers they face in NCD services provision. Methods A qualitative design was used to conduct this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with government officials within the Mozambican Ministry of Health, district health authorities, health facility managers, and health providers at urban and rural health facilities of Maputo, in Mozambique. The data was then analyzed under three domains: provider´s capacity building, health system structuring, and policy. Results A total of 24 interviews of the 26 planed with managers and healthcare providers at national, district, and health facility levels were completed. The domains analyzed enabled the identification and description of three themes. First, the majority of health training courses in Mozambique are oriented towards infectious diseases. Therefore, healthcare workers perceive that they need to consolidate and broaden their NCD-related knowledge or else have access to NCD-related in-service training to improve their capacity to manage patients with NCDs. Second, poor availability of diagnostic equipment, tools, supplies, and related medicines were identified as barriers to appropriate NCD care and management. Finally, insufficient NCD financing reflects the low level of prioritization felt by managers and healthcare providers. Conclusion There is a gap in human, financial, and material resources to respond to the country’s health needs, which is more significant for NCDs as they currently compete against major infectious disease programming, which is better funded by external partners. Healthcare workers at the primary health care level of Mozambique’s health system are inadequately skilled to provide NCD care and they lack the diagnostic equipment and tools to adequately provide such care. Any increase in global and national responses to the NCD challenge must include investments in human resources and appropriate equipment.
