  1. Promoting healthy diet and physical activity

  2. Reducing tobacco use

  3. Reducing alcohol consumption

  4. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using antibiotics to treat viral infections is not an effective strategy for preventing non-communicable diseases, as antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections.

What is the role of primary healthcare in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases?

  1. Providing early detection and management of non-communicable diseases

  2. Promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing non-communicable diseases

  3. Providing comprehensive care for people living with non-communicable diseases

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Primary healthcare plays a crucial role in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases by providing early detection and management, promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing these diseases, and providing comprehensive care for people living with them.

Which of the following is NOT a challenge in implementing health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries?

  1. Lack of resources

  2. Weak health infrastructure

  3. Lack of trained healthcare professionals

  4. Strong political commitment


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Strong political commitment is not a challenge in implementing health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases in low- and middle-income countries, as it is essential for mobilizing resources, strengthening health infrastructure, and training healthcare professionals.

What is the role of multisectoral collaboration in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases?

  1. To address the social determinants of non-communicable diseases

  2. To promote healthy public policies

  3. To coordinate interventions across different sectors

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Multisectoral collaboration plays a vital role in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases by addressing the social determinants of these diseases, promoting healthy public policies, and coordinating interventions across different sectors.

Which of the following is NOT a key indicator for monitoring the progress of health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases?

  1. Mortality rate from non-communicable diseases

  2. Prevalence of non-communicable diseases

  3. Number of people receiving treatment for non-communicable diseases

  4. Healthcare expenditure on non-communicable diseases


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Healthcare expenditure on non-communicable diseases is not a key indicator for monitoring the progress of health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases, as it does not directly measure the effectiveness of interventions or the impact on the health of the population.

What is the importance of patient engagement in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases?

  1. To improve the quality of care

  2. To increase patient satisfaction

  3. To empower patients to manage their own health

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Patient engagement is crucial in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases, as it improves the quality of care, increases patient satisfaction, and empowers patients to manage their own health.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended strategy for strengthening health information systems for non-communicable diseases?

  1. Implementing electronic health records

  2. Establishing disease registries

  3. Using mobile technology for data collection

  4. Relying solely on paper-based records


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Relying solely on paper-based records is not a recommended strategy for strengthening health information systems for non-communicable diseases, as it limits data accessibility, analysis, and timely decision-making.

What is the role of research in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases?

  1. To generate evidence for effective interventions

  2. To identify gaps in knowledge and practice

  3. To inform policy and program development

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Research plays a critical role in health systems strengthening for non-communicable diseases by generating evidence for effective interventions, identifying gaps in knowledge and practice, and informing policy and program development.

Which of the following is NOT a key element of a comprehensive non-communicable disease surveillance system?

  1. Data collection and analysis

  2. Case reporting

  3. Outbreak detection and response

  4. Health promotion and prevention


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Health promotion and prevention are not key elements of a comprehensive non-communicable disease surveillance system, as they focus on preventing the occurrence of these diseases rather than monitoring their incidence and prevalence.

What is the importance of integrating non-communicable disease services into primary healthcare?
