5th International Conference on Primary Care and Global Healthcare

Session Overview

This session focuses on the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the role of primary care in delivering coordinated, continuous and person-centred care across the disease course. It brings together research on prevention, early detection, risk stratification, multimorbidity management, chronic disease management and integration between primary care, specialist services and community-based care.

The session is particularly relevant to research addressing the reality that many patients experience multiple chronic conditions rather than a single isolated disease. It provides a platform for evidence on integrated models of care that improve continuity, treatment adherence, clinical outcomes, patient experience and health-system efficiency.

Sub Tracks

• NCD Prevention, Risk Assessment & Early Detection
• Multimorbidity & Complex Chronic Disease Management
• Integrated Care Models for Chronic Diseases
• Cardiometabolic Health & Chronic Disease Management
• Person-Centred & Community-Based NCD Care

Scientific Scope & Research Areas

The scientific scope covers NCD epidemiology, primary-care management, chronic disease prevention, multimorbidity, integrated care, health services research and implementation science.

Research may examine clinical pathways, disease management programmes, risk-stratification approaches, multidisciplinary teams, integrated service delivery, patient-centred care, medication management, digital monitoring and community-based chronic-care interventions.

Particular attention is given to how primary-care systems can move beyond disease-specific management toward coordinated care for patients with multiple and interacting health needs. This includes research evaluating clinical effectiveness, patient-reported outcomes, continuity of care, healthcare utilisation, quality of life and cost-effectiveness.
