Chronic Disease has been identified as a priority health concern and is a part of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

Chronic diseases are long-lasting conditions that can be managed but not cured. They often develop over time and persist for months or years. Common examples include heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, and cancer. These conditions can significantly impact quality of life and may lead to serious health complications or premature death if not properly managed. Addressing chronic disease is essential to improving public health, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing the quality of life for affected individuals.
