HEAL-PNG: Hybrid Effectiveness, feasibility and Acceptability for Long-term conditions: Integrating NCD care in TB and HIV clinics to improve the management of multiple long-term conditions in PNG: a hybrid type II effectiveness-implementation stepped-wedge randomised controlled trial

Papua new Guinea

Background

Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and heart disease are a major cause of death in Papua New Guinea. We will undertake a study in 2 provinces in Papua New Guinea to assess whether integrating diabetes, heart disease and chronic lung disease care into HIV and TB programs improves care. We will also assess whether the intervention provides value for money. Finally, we will build capacity for non-communicable disease care and research in PNG.
