Chronic Disease Management and Screening
What Are Chronic Diseases?
Chronic diseases are long-term health conditions that often develop slowly but can affect quality of life if not managed properly. The most common include:
High blood pressure (Hypertension)
Diabetes
High cholesterol
Asthma and Chronic Lung Disease
HIV/AIDS
Arthritis
Heart disease
These conditions may not always cause symptoms early on, which is why screening and regular check-ups are so important.
