    Rethinking health-care systems: a focus on chronicity
    (Elsevier, 2010-11-11) Allotey, Pascale; Reidpath, Daniel; Yasin, Shajahan; Chan, Carina K; Aikins, Ama de-Graft
    Health-care systems, including those in countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, face a crisis of an increasing burden of chronic disease aggravated by ageing populations and complicated by the continuing risks of infectious diseases and global pandemics. The issues for health-care systems in low-income and middle-income countries are compounded by persistent diseases of poverty, and the inadequately understood comorbidities of both infectious and non-communicable diseases.
